I shall go home, and you must follow me, if you choose." "No, you will go with _me_! Do you hear?
I command you to come with me!" It was his best imitation of resistless authority, and he saw, even in speaking, that he had miscalculated.

"Command me, you cannot.

I am as free from your control as any stranger." "Try, and see.

If you attempt to go back into the town, I shall hold you by force, and the consequences will be worse to you than to me.

Do as you please." Again her eyes turned to the distant roof of Peartree Cottage.
