"Mr. Reinecourt; only I wish you had not sprained your ankle doing it."
"I don't regret it. But you are under an obligation to me, are you not?"
"Certainly."
"Then I mean to have a return for what you owe me. I want you to come and see me every day until I get well."
Rose blushed vividly.
"Oh, I don't know. You exact too much!"
"Not a whit. I'll never fly to the rescue of another damsel in distress as long as I live, if you don't."
"But every day! Once a week will be enough."
"If you insult me by coming once a week, I'll issue orders not to admit you. Promise, Miss Danton; here comes Doctor Pillule."
"I promise, then. There, I never gave you permission to kiss my hand."
