"Yes, she helped me--us." "She told me so.

I had quite a talk with her," Davidson informed him.
"Fancy anyone having a talk with Mrs.Schomberg! If I were to tell the fellows they wouldn't believe me.

How did you get round her, Heyst?
How did you think of it?
Why, she looks too stupid to understand human speech and too scared to shoo a chicken away.

Oh, the women, the women! You don't know what there may be in the quietest of them." "She was engaged in the task of defending her position in life," said Heyst.

"It's a very respectable task." "Is that it?
I had some idea it was that," confessed Davidson.
He then imparted to Heyst the story of the violent proceedings following on the discovery of his flight.
