I see it is distasteful to you, and I beg your pardon for having mentioned it so often.

You have been very kind to me, indeed, and I should be exceedingly sorry to do anything to offend you.
It would be very bad for me to lose one of my friends, now that I am shut up in this box, and feel so very dependent." "Oh, indeed," said Miss Annie.

"But I suppose if you were able to step around, as you used to do, it wouldn't matter whether you offended me or not." "Mrs Null," said Lawrence, "you know I did not mean anything like that.
Do you intend to be angry with me, no matter what I say ?" "Not a bit of it," she answered, with a little smile that brought back to her face that warm brightness which had grown upon it since she had come down here.

"I haven't the least wish in the world to be angry with you, and I promise you I won't be, provided you'll stop everlastingly asking me to go about helping you to make love to people." Lawrence laughed.

"Very good," said he.
