"Guy, have you lost your senses?
Do you want to ruin your whole life ?" "Do you mean," I asked incredulously, "that you do not wish me to join you ?" "Join us! For Heaven's sake, no!" she answered fiercely.

"Look at your father, an outcast all his life.

Do you want to become like him?
Do you want to turn the other way whenever you meet an Englishman, to skulk all your days in hiding, to be the scorn even of the men who employ you?
Guy, I would sooner see you dead than part with those papers." "You damned fool!" my father muttered.

"Take no notice of her, Guy.
Five thousand pounds! I will see it paid to you, every penny of it.
And not a soul will ever know!" My father stood over her, and there was a threat in his face.

She did not shrink from him for a moment.
