"I wasn't paying much attention," he equivocated, a remark not calculated to appease her anger. "Why were you doing it?" "I was just practising," said Tom. "Practising!" exclaimed Nancy, scornfully. "I shouldn't think you needed to practise that any more." "Oh, I've done it louder," he declared, "Listen!" She seized his hands, snatching them away from his lips.
The regent, who had tried to keep the matter profoundly secret, first was irate, then equivocated, and tried to deny that he had any Roman prisoners; then, driven to bay by Cornelia's persistency and quiet inflexibility before his denials and protests, gave her permission to be taken to the prison and see the captives.
