"You don't care a straw." She said nothing for a moment, then, suddenly, she stopped again, dropping her eyes.
"I beg your pardon," she said, very gently; "I care a great deal.

"Do you know what I shall tell him?
I shall tell him that about eleven o'clock at night you become peculiarly attractive." She went on again a few steps; Miss Evers and Captain Lovelock had turned round and were coming toward her.
"It is very true that I am outrageous," she said; "it was extremely silly and in very bad taste to come out at this hour.

Mamma was not at all pleased, and I was very unkind to her.

I only wanted to take a turn, and now we will go back." On the others coming up she announced this resolution, and though Captain Lovelock and his companion made a great outcry, she carried her point.

Bernard offered no opposition.
