"That's a woman's answer. Did you give your address to that wicked little girl who answers to the name of Teenie?"
"I might have."
"That's another woman's answer. Did that young man who wallows in vice write to you?"
"A young gentleman known here as Sidney Brock did write to me."
"That's the sort of confession a woman does make. And you actually replied? You had no shame whatever?"
"I sent an answer."
"Then came!"
"And saw and conquered," she murmured happily.
"What are you muttering about?"
"I suppose you would call them my sins. But, if you speak to me again like that, I shall shut the window," Nellie replied with spirit.
