"Precisely," said Vivette. "That is why I am saying good-bye."
Vivette held out her hand. Peter dubiously held it a moment.
"I have treated you very badly, Vivette."
"I am well pleased."
"I owe you so much," he insisted.
She put her free hand on his shoulder and lightly kissed him.
"How good you are, Vivette," Peter fervently exclaimed.
"You're spoiling it, as usual," said Vivette, softly writhing. "Please go at once. I am in the mood to part with you."
