"I suppose I shall," she returned, with an odd lapse to her former gravity and submissiveness. "That's what they all tell me." "You will be independent and your own mistress," he added.

He had no desire that Rad el Moussa should forget his submissiveness and stab him suddenly from behind, neither did he especially wish to be noosed or knifed from round any of the dusky sudden corners.
An honest lad he doubtless was, whose very ignorance had generated enthusiasm, whose manly heart was impelled by childish intellect, and who could show alike the submissiveness of a woman and the courage of a hero. On the evening in question he was dressed in a coat and trousers of greenish corduroy. A soft felt hat, placed lightly on the back of his head, cast a streak of shadow over his brow.
"Well, my dear," she said laughingly, "I make no rash promises. You know I never have equalled Elsie in submissiveness." "No; and yet you have usually shown yourself amenable to authority."
