I want to take you there, because I know a woman staying in the hotel--a woman old enough to be your mother--who'll look after you, to please me, till we're married.

She knows all about me--or enough--and if she'd been in the restaurant at dinner this evening she could have done for me what you did. I had reason to think she would be there when I bolted in to get out of a fix. But she was missing. Are you sorry?
