"You will receive no more of my favorite authors," she told Dave, spitefully. "I'll keep them to read myself."
"You like knights and—chivalry and such things, don't you?"
"Chivalry, yes. In the days when I believed in it I used to cry over those romances."
"Don't you still believe in chivalry?"
Alaire turned her eyes upon the questioner, and there were no girlish illusions in them. "Do you?" she queried, with a faint curl of her lip.
"Why—yes."
She shook her head. "Men have changed. Nowadays they are all selfish and sordid. But—I shouldn't generalize, for I'm a notorious man-hater, you know."
"It seems to me that women are just as selfish as men—perhaps more so—in all but little things."
"Our definitions of 'little things' may differ. What do you call a big thing?"
"Love! That's the biggest thing in the world," Law responded, promptly.
