”This lace is yours, dearest Zenobia, if you will content lad if you would wait till after e”
”No, dearest, now or never I cannot wait I shall die if you do not grant my prayer Look! do you not see what a state I ah, but it can't be done”
”Why not? Are you afraid of your husband noticing the loss of your maidenhead?”
”Not I, and if he did I shouldn't care I promise you if he dared to reproach me, he should not have ood for him Come quick!”
”But you will shut the door, at least?”
”No, the noise would be heard, and ive rise to suspicion nobody will come in”

”Not at all, the recollection will make it all the pleasanter for you”
”Mentally perhaps, but in other respects ”
