We feel constrained here to turn aside for one moment to advise the general adoption of that course of conduct in all the serious affairs of life. The evidence of Tim Rokens was clear and to the point.

Now, do you understand?
"I told you I wouldn't try to run away," she said, "and neither I didn't. But I had a right to yell, and if anybody heard me, I hope he'll come right straight here! You are bad, wicked women!"

And you're a termagant, Jenny. That's what you are. You want it all your own way! Anything that goes wrong is my fault not yours! You don't think there's anything that's your fault. It's all mine. But, my good girl, that's ridiculous. What d'you think I know about you? Eh? Nothing whatever! Absolutely nothing! You think you're as clear as day! You're not. You're a dark horse.
