I don't think you have thrown your money away in the land."

And if I'd not heard that, I'd never have known what it is to have my soul drawn out of me by the maddening excitement of an intensive bombardment. And and, que voulez-vous, I have killed!"
"I won't promise anything," she said lightly. "Ah, but you must!" he insisted. "Toby, you might have killed yourself." Her laugh suddenly had a mocking sound. "Oh, no! I shall never kill myself on Lord Saltash's premises," she said. "Why do you say that?" questioned Bunny. "Because que voulez-vous? he would want me neither dead nor alive," she made reckless answer.
