Then he burst forth into a whole-souled laugh. "I am a good fellow," he said. "I'll show you."
"First comes you to wheedle her away, and then come your companions to search the house for her. I knew how it would be. I never knew but one man you could trust with a woman, and he was so palsied that a child could push him over. And the little fool was fond of you, too." And with that she wailed louder than ever.

"Well what concern of yours was all this dirty business? Why should she go to you?" "Don't you see? It's so simple. I was to wheedle his secret out of you." "To oblige that woman?" "Yes; or, if I was unwilling to oblige her, then to protect myself." "To protect yourself? Against whom?" "Against her telling every one in the hotel that she and I are in the same box."

I think she was arrayed in little blue feathers, but if such a costume is not seemly, I swear there were, at least, little blue feathers in her too coquettish cap, and that she was carrying a muff to match.

"It's these motor veils," said I. "You can't expect a man to see through three thicknesses of shuffon now can you, Mr. Moss?" It was a lucky shot, and, upon my word, I really do believe that I began to wheedle him, Whether I did, or whether I did not, we had the car upon the road in ten minutes, and were off for Dover before a quarter of an hour had passed.
