'Besides, the other continued, with an inflexion of grandeur, 'for a man accustomed to his hunters, it is, you will confess, unpleasant I speak' hypothetically to be reduced to his legs to that extent that it strikes him shrewdly he will run them into stumps.
Annette knew her for an artist in "extras," a vampire that had sucked her purse lean with deft overcharges, a creature without mercy or morals. But the daily irony of her greeting had the grace, the cordial inflexion, of a piece of distinguished politeness. "Charming," agreed Annette. She produced the bill. "I may as well pay this now," she suggested.
"The question is who to send for the money when the time comes." "Oh, Hank is the man," said Ben, without an instant's hesitation. "We must not appear in this at all."
