Mention of her old scapegrace of a father lit her up again.

The girl there and the girl here were no doubt the same.

It could not be said that she had duped him; he had done it for himself--acted on by a particular agency.

This creature had not the capacity to dupe.

He had armed a bluntwitted young woman with his idiocy, and she had dealt the stroke; different in scarce a degree by nature from other young women of prey.
But her look at times, and now and then her voice, gave sign that she counted on befooling him as well, to reconcile him to his bondage.
