It's a shame she should lose so excellent a chance of going into good society. Other people go, why shouldn't we? Eh, darling?" "What won't people do," growled Burton, "for the sake of a dinner!"
If she bites and scratches, some of you will have to hold her, but the best way will be to argue with her, and persuade her by honied words, to come down with the quinine. Go!" "One word, colonel, before I go," I said. "About how many men should you think it would take to hold this woman?
His manner was charmingly courteous, and he said the most cruel things in the most honied accents, and invariably escorted to the door the man whom he would sell up the next day.
