"See here, Sibyl, I'm going to know what it means." "Oh, you ARE ?" she snapped.
"You're trembling," he said, gravely.
"Yes.

I'm angry enough to do more than tremble, you'll find.

Go on!" "That was all I was going to say the other day," he said.

"I was going to ask you--" "Yes, that was all you were going to say THE OTHER DAY.Yes.What else have you to say to-night ?" "To-night," he replied, with grim swiftness, "I want to know why you keep telephoning him you want to see him since he stopped coming here." She made a long, low sound of comprehension before she said, "And what else did Edith want you to ask me ?" "I want to know what you say over the telephone to Lamhorn," he said, fiercely.
