Yet if united, they might gnaw the trap and release their leader!
Between Dymes and Redgrave there was no hesitating on whatever score. This advertisement in the fashionable and authoritative weekly paper surpassed Dymes's scope; his savage jealousy was sufficient proof of that. All she could do for the moment was to temporise with her ignobler master, and the humiliation of such a necessity seemed to poison her blood.
Here stood the careless, unblushing villain, making light of his guilt, carrying it away from disgust itself, with resolute look and front erect.
