She, too, it seemed, had caught the analogy; for with a wan smile she said "We are quits now, John, aren't we?"

"Oh," she cried, staggering to her feet, "the owls, the owls!"
I have repaid it with my hospitality. We are quits. I now warn you not to show your face here again." "I shall do as I see fit," said Ambrose doggedly. "You compel me to speak still more plainly," said Gaviller. "If you are found on the Company's property again, you will be thrown off." "You cannot frighten me with threats," said Ambrose.

Prasildo resolves to die with them; but hearing, in the mean time, that the apothecary had given them a drink that was harmless, he goes and tells them of their good fortune; upon which the husband is so struck with his generosity, that he voluntarily quits Babylon for life and the lady marries the lover.
