"Oh, no, Rawdon, but you always exaggerate," said Tanny.
"Maybe," said Lilly.
"I think Japanese are fascinating--fascinating--so quick, and such FORCE in them--" "Rather!--eh ?" said Jim, looking with a quick smile at Tanny.

"Do you hate the normal British as much as I do ?" she asked him.
"Hate them! Hate them!" he said, with an intimate grin.
"Their beastly virtue," said she.

"And I believe there's nobody more vicious underneath." "Nobody!" said Jim.
