I give to him the thing he craves with all his soul- -myself. It is an honest bargain, and I shall bear my part of it with honesty. I have no virtues--where should I have got them from, forsooth, in a life like mine? I mean I have no women's virtues; but I have one that is sometimes--not always--a man's. 'Tis that I am not a coward and a trickster, and keep my word when 'tis given.英文原著 · 《A Lady of Quality》
To-morrow" - he looked hard at the place where she had sat - "to-morrow I will ask her!"
On his way back to the house a little cloaked figure stepped out from behind a shrub. He looked at her in amazement. It was the little brown girl, and her eyes were wet with tears.
