"Are you a fool, friend?" said the Countess sharply; "or do you think, because I have good-naturedly purchased your trumpery goods at your roguish prices, that you may put any gullery you will on me?

This time it was Bertram who was sitting erect in pale horror. Billy threw him a roguish glance. "Goosey! You are as bad as Aunt Hannah! I said that was what I wanted to say.
