"That's Maidenhead Bridge;—that's—somebody's place;—and now I've got something to say to you."
"You're not going to murder me now you've got me up here alone?" said Miss Boncassen, laughing.
"Murder you!" said Dolly, throwing himself into an attitude that was intended to express devoted affection. "Oh no!"
"I am glad of that."
"Miss Boncassen!"
"Mr. Longstaff! If you sigh like that you'll burst yourself."
