The Bonnie Lassie raised her eyebrows at me, affecting aggrieved innocence. "Won't do what?" she inquired. "Whatever it is that you're trying to wheedle me into." The eyebrows resumed their normal arch, and a dimple flickered in the corner of the soft lips. By this I knew that the case was hopeless. "Oh, but you've already done it," she said. "Help! Tell me the worst and get it over with."
"What will you give me ef I tell you?" "I haven't much to give. I can sing to yer tell me, and I'll give you the bonniest song one that no bird in springtime could beat." "Ay, ay, lass," said Granger. "You know your power, and how you can wheedle anything out of a fellow; but the fact is I don't know where Bet is hiding; and if I did the secret is Dent's, not mine. But I don't so there.
I shall go to my grave now in the certainty that one-half the world is made to wheedle and befool the other half, and that every woman is born to treason as the sparks fly upward. You lied to me, Gertrude, and I believed you. You lured me on deliberately, with a cold cruelty for which there is no name.

I confess that I did once have a little affection for you, but that is pretty well over now." Fan laughed incredulously, and put her arms round her friend's neck. "No," said the other resolutely, "you are not going to wheedle me in that way. I hate all women, I think, but especially those that have any resemblance to me in character."
