The policeman left in the room was a big, thick-voiced, pompous man, with a horrible unfeeling pleasure in hearing himself talk before an assembly of frightened, silent people. He told us how he had found her, as if he had been telling a story in a tap-room, and began with saying: "I don't think the young woman was drunk." Drunk!

I was glad to give her a sufficient sum to set her up in a good line of business, and so get decently rid of her.

Womanly she undoubtedly was, but of that type in woman which is rarely seen in cities and not often in the country. There is a hopefulness inherent in perfect physical organisations that have never been strained by unnatural means, which makes them seem hard and unfeeling to weaker natures.
He had never made any mistake about her character, and she was beginning to make him feel afraid of her in the midst of his adoration. "What do I want with a girl out of a magazine?" he cried. "Where should I hang her up?" She was not unfeeling, but unshaken and she went on: "I should look like a housemaid among them.
