"He detests the Israelites, and he allows it to be seen a little too much. He embarrasses us sometimes. But there is one extenuating circumstance he has married a Jewess!"

The Colonel's majestic displeasure was as nothing in comparison with Scott's wordless disapproval. "Oh, I couldn't do that," she said. "I couldn't. I ought not to be here with you now."
