"Take your dirty paws off of me," she cried, wrenching away from him. "And spank me, would you?" The fire leaped higher in her eyes, the red in her cheeks gave place to an angrier white.
"What are you doing that for?" hissed the man, clutching her arm. "You will have the police after us. Walk along quietly beside me, you little fool; I have something to say to you." Terrified, Jessie only cried the louder and shriller, wrenching her arm free from the stranger's grasp.
