Let's part friends, he added, holding out his hand. An unseen hand was slowly put in his, which closed on it, vice-like. "Now," he said, "you've jolly well got to look in the glass and own that we're not liars." He led the invisible Princess to. one of the mirrors, and held her in front of it by the shoulders.
