I don't know what you did in the house, but I think you must have outfaced him in some way.

Well, for that you'll pay, be sure! And you'll pay with your life, Ronicky.

Every minute, now, you're in danger of your life.

You'll keep on being in danger, until he feels that he has squared his account with you.

Don't you see that if I let Bill Gregg come near me--" "Then Bill will be in danger of this same wolf of a man, eh?
And, in spite of the fact that you like Bill--" "Ah, yes, I do!" "That you love him, in fact." "Why shouldn't I tell you ?" demanded the girl, breaking down suddenly.
"I do love him, and I can never see him to tell him, because I dread John Mark." "Rest easy," said Ronicky, "you'll see Bill, or else he'll die trying to get to you." "If you're his friend--" "I'd rather see him dead than living the rest of his life, plumb unhappy." She shook her head, arguing, and so they reached the corner of Beekman Place again and turned into it and went straight toward the house opposite that of John Mark.
