“Marvelous! You must be a perfect savage.”
“Well, I am going to treat you the way savages sometimes treat their captives.”
“I’m sorry about that.”
“You’ll be more so before I am done with you. Oh, I’ll make you whimper and beg!”
“Yes? Bright prospect for me; but it’s possible you had better think it over before you go into it. It might not be healthy for you in the end. There are other days coming—and other nights.”
“Bah! You put up a good bluff, but it does not go. I’ll take some of the nerve out of you!”
“Your turn will come! Whatever you do will not be forgotten.”
“Rot! You are welcome to remember it. Little good that will do you.”
“Oh, I don’t know! I may make it decidedly uncomfortable for you.”
“You can’t.”
