"Maurice is not here. Come, Miss Dallas, let me take you back to your mother." "Ho! ho!" murmured Maurice, rather taken back. "So the art of devil-raising is not a lost one after all.

I'd hate her to be a fizzle, and I'm going to see to it that she gets rid of it." "I'll find out what it all means after I have had speech with Arkel," said Jen to himself. "The doctor cannot escape me, and if David has an understanding with him, I'll force them both to confess. There can be no harm in leaving them together for a few minutes.".
