There was in it something threatening, something intensely and inordinately possessive. "That means that you didn't think me good-looking at all, as compared with Chloe?" she said insistently. "Really, Daphne!" Roger withdrew his arm with a rather angry laugh "the way you twist what one says! I declare I won't make you any more pretty speeches for an age."
Dundee's keen memory registered the slight difference in the wording of the greeting as reported by this pseudo-Nita and the man she was running to meet. But Penny, as Nita, was already straightening Tracey Miles' necktie with possessive, coquettish fingers, was coaxing, with head tucked alluringly: "Tracey, my ownest lamb, won't you shake up the cocktails for Nita?
There is no record that the Romans desired the affection of the Sabine women; and those in whom possessive impulses are strong tend to care chiefly for the goods that force can secure. All material goods belong to this class. Liberty in regard to such goods, if it were unrestricted, would make the strong rich and the weak poor.
