"Oh, then it was in the dark. Led her in the dark."
"She didn't mean that I really took her by the hand and led her. I led her spiritually."
"Is that all? Where did you find her—spiritually?"
"Going—shall I say?"
"Why, of course."
"Going to the devil."
"Oh, and did she say so, or could you see for yourself?"
"I could see. Agnes—Miss Agnes, if I were not afraid of lowering myself in your esteem, I would tell you something."
