"Thank you so much," she said in a tone of such even sweetness that Patricia felt uncomfortable, though she did not know why. "Come here to me a minute!" he said quickly, and he turned me round and put his head down between my shoulders and held me so tight against his ear that I could hardly breathe. "Really!" said Etwald, with pointed satire. "Was I as cruel as that!".
