Mowley smiled sourly; but Macavoy laughed outright, and smacked his lips on his pipe-stem luxuriously. "Aw now, Pierre all me little failin's aw!" he protested.

All I can tell is that this refined woman had all she could do to control herself in her eagerness to get out of her prison-house, away from the blasphemies of Mowley, away from the insults of Jones, away from the sights and sounds and smells of the place, and, above all, her eagerness to fly to the little shocky-head from whom she had been banished for two years.
