"You are not worrying about that great strapping fellow up-stairs, are you?" Prudence asked the question sharply.

Prudence contemplated her companion for a moment in silence. Then she said that she had a bit of advice to offer; advice was easily given, and it never hurt any one, because no one ever followed it.
