The Goddess Diana, sir, that calls aloud for the chase, is not more particular in her behavior than Sophia Wackles; I can tell you that.' 'Am I to believe there's anything real in what you say ?' demanded his friend; 'you don't mean to say that any love-making has been going on ?' 'Love-making, yes.

Promising, no,' said Dick.
