Didn't you see him?
Those dreadful green eyes--like--like a tiger in the dark?
Olga--" suddenly and passionately she began to plead "-- you won't tell him, dearest! You couldn't be so cruel! Can't you see what it means to me?
Don't you realize that it's my better self that's gone?
And I've got to follow--I must follow.

If he doesn't know, perhaps I shall manage to slip through when he isn't looking.

Dear, you wouldn't have me kept a prisoner--against my will?
He's so hard, Allegro--so hard and merciless.
And he keeps the door so close.

I should have got away last night if it hadn't been for him.

So you won't tell him, will you?
You'll promise me you won't!" Olga listened to the appeal with a heart that seemed turned to stone.
She knew not what to say or do.
"It's my only chance!" urged Violet, in a voice that was beginning to break.
