Miss Norcross! Why, what in thunder----

They wouldn't accept me as additional security, sir.

Oh, I'm awfully sorry, he began.

I wouldn't have had you come here for all the world. It isn't right. It's a shame! Why---- Peter, how dared you bring Miss Norcross to this place? No; don't try to make any excuses. You ought to be thrashed for it.
