Existing only in a state of semi-consciousness like one recovering from a blinding blow. The francs dribbled away. Sometimes he played baccarat and won; oftener he played baccarat and lost.

He dribbled the information; and was agonizingly long-winded and vague in answering her volley of frightened questions. Shaken between duty to her job and a yearning to catch the next train for town, the nurse went back at last to the nursery.
She felt no longer the slightest doubt of what he purposed doing, and her woman heart swelled responsively to his masculine strength.
