But Chevenix shook his head. "You never know where to have Nevile. What says the Primer? Timeo Danaos don't you know?" She pleaded, Might they not forget Nevile out here in the open? "Do you know," she asked him, "that I haven't been out like this " "On the loose, eh?" he interposed. She nodded.

"I know little Latin and less Greek," said he, "but, 'timeo Danaos dona ferentes. And I've got no game. I'm telling you the straight truth, and I want you to help save me from Margaret and from myself. I love the girl.
And, taking little things first, I am proud and happy to discover that the member for me was the only participator in the debate who, in the vulgar and reprehensible phrase, "threw a dead cat," or, in polite terms, displayed classical learning.
