"I have done it for men, but not on that day; I was shooting at Hornsey Wood most of it, if I remember right. Why do you ask ?" "I will tell you, my lord, if you grant me a private interview." The Seraph moved away. "Never do that," he said briefly; "private interviews," thought he, acting on past experience, "with women always mean proposals, and with men always mean extortion." Baroni made a quick movement toward him. |
