Shut your fist and do it quick." "My dear! my boy! I haven't the heart to do it!" "Ah!" Robert's chest dropped in; but tightening his muscles again, he said, "now do it do it!" "Oh! a poke at a poor fire puts it out, dear. And make a murderess of me, you call mother! Oh! as I love the name, I'll obey you, Robert. But! there!" "Harder, mother." "There! goodness forgive me!"

Fifi clenched her little fists, drew her lips between her teeth, and fairly hissed, "Serpent, yourself! Murderess! I know all and I shall tell all! You'll regret the day you scorned the friendship the help of Fifi Desternay!" "I don't want your help, at the price of friendship with you! I know you for what you are!
