I have lost all hope of you, Kate." Her glance wandered slightly, and his hope increased.
"Because of Harrigan," he said.
She was remembering what Harrigan had said: "How to stop McTee?
Make yourself old and your skin yellow, and your hair gray, and take the spring out of your step." "Why do you keep the whip over him, Angus?
He has saved your life, and you his.

Why will you not treat him as one strong and generous man would treat another ?" "Because I love you, Kate." "Angus, would you stop if you knew I loved him ?" "Is that a fair question, Kate?
Even if you said you loved him, I could not stop, because I would have to do my best to save you from yourself." She looked her query silently.
"He is not worthy of you, Kate.

Because he seems generous and simple, do not be deceived.

He is capable of things which even Black McTee would turn from.

I know it, for I know his type.
