For a few seconds, that seemed long minutes to my mind, we sat thus silently; but I could not resist glancing backward, despite the orders to the contrary.

He speaks seven languages, and yet he doesn't know the meaning of the one word "no." Jack used to say that if a man was persistent enough he could win a woman in spite of the Devil.
