Please forget--all I've said!" "Oh, I say!" said Max, opening his eyes, "that's the cruellest thing you've done yet.

You've taken all the wind out of my sails, and left me stranded.

It's outside my experience entirely." Olga had turned to the door, but at his words she paused, looking back.
A glimmer of resentment still shone in her eyes.
"If I were in your place," she said, "I should apologize too." "Oh, no, you wouldn't," said Max.

"Not if you wished to achieve the desired effect.

You see, I've nothing to apologize for." "How like a man!" exclaimed Olga.
"Yes, isn't it?
Thanks for the compliment! Strange to say, I am much more like a man than anything else under the sun.
