"That's my affair.

Come, you little vixen, give me that kiss you said I was going to ask you for below," and he caught her in his arms.
In an instant she had twisted herself free, and confronted him with flashing eyes.
"You dare!" she cried.

"Kiss me by force! Pooh! you make love like a schoolboy.

If you can make me like you, I'll kiss you as often as you will.

If you can't, keep your distance, please." Blunt did not know whether to laugh or be angry at this rebuff.
