"And will you insist on seeing Girasole also?" asked Mrs. Willoughby.
"I don't know. I'm awfully sorry for him," said Minnie.
"Well, then, Captain Kirby will be here next. Of course you will see him?"
"I suppose so," said Minnie, resignedly.
"And how long do you think this sort of thing can go on? They'll meet, and blood will be shed."
"Oh dear! I'm afraid so."
"Then I'm not going to allow it. I've telegraphed to papa. He'll see whether you are going to have your own way or not."
"I'm sure I don't see what dear papa can do."
"He won't let you see those horrid men."
"He won't be cruel enough to lock me up in the house. I do wish he would come and take me away. I don't want them. They're all horrid."
