She had him in a corner; was merciless. He tried to wriggle out; said:
"I did not say so."
It was an infecund effort on his part. She pinned him in still further; was that kind of woman.
"What does that mean? That you do and you do not?"
There was nothing for him but to fence; he answered:
"Yes and No."
It did not in any way extricate him from his difficulty. She continued:
"You are a complete enigma."
"There is no prize offered for the solution."
