My li'l boy's in the next room, tryin' to sleep; and 'tisn' fit he heard much of this."

But a dirty trick like that well, well!" Honoria stared at her, confounded. "You never loved my husband?" And Lizzie laughed actually laughed; she was so weary. "No more than you did, my dear. Perhaps a little less. Eh, what two fools we are here, fending off the truth! Fools from the start and now, simme, playing foolish to the end; ay, when all's said and naked atween us.
