"You do not like Comrade Zveri, do you, Romero?"
"Even to you, Señorita," he replied, "I must admit, since you ask me, I do not."
"I know that he has antagonized many."
"He has antagonized all—except you, Señorita."
"Why should I be excepted?" she asked. "How do you know that he has not antagonized me also?"
"Not deeply, I am sure," he said, "or else you would not have consented to become his wife."
"And how do you know that I have?" she asked.
"Comrade Zveri boasts of it often," replied Romero.
"Oh, he does?" nor did she make any other comment.
