"Father keeps opening the door and shutting it, but a time will come "I could still go home!" She held Ramage's check as if to tear it across. "No," she said at last; "I'm a human being not a timid female. What could I do at home? The other's a crumple-up just surrender. Funk! I'll see it out." Part 1

They went on talking in the train it seemed to her father a slight want of deference to him and he listened and pretended to read the Times. He was struck disagreeably by Ramage's air of gallant consideration and Ann Veronica's self-possessed answers. After all, it came to him suddenly as a harsh discovery that she might be in a sense regarded as grownup.

Her defence ceased rapidly to be in any sense ladylike, and became vigorous and effective; a strand of black hair that had escaped its hairpins came athwart Ramage's eyes, and then the knuckles of a small but very hardly clinched fist had thrust itself with extreme effectiveness and painfulness under his jawbone and ear.

I don't suggest any philanthropy. I shall charge you five per cent., you know, fair and square." Ann Veronica opened her lips quickly and did not speak. But the five per cent. certainly did seem to improve the aspect of Ramage's suggestion. "Well, anyhow, consider it open." He dabbed with his paper-weight again, and spoke in an entirely indifferent tone.

She saw her aunt in tears, her father white-faced and hard hit. "Don't come nearer!" she said. There was a discreet knocking at the door, and Ramage's face changed. "No," she said, under her breath, "you can't face it." And she knew that she was safe. He went to the door. "It's all right," he said, reassuringly to the inquirer without.
