"You get away from in front of that door! What do you mean by turning that key? You open that door and let me out this instant!"
The lawyer's reply did not breathe the spirit of conciliation.
"I'll see you hung first."
"Don't you speak to me like that! Who do you think you're talking to?"
"To you. Now, you foul-mouthed judy, I'm going to take off the gloves to deal with you. I've not had the dregs of the criminal population pass through my hands all these years without knowing how to deal with a woman of your type, as I'm going to show you. What were you going to say to Miss Arnott?--out with it!"
"Never mind what I was going to say to Miss Arnott; I'm going to say nothing to you; don't you think it! Who do you think you're trying to bounce?"
"You're going to say exactly what you would have said if that young lady had remained in the room, or when you do go it will be in the charge of a policeman."
"Oh, shall I? We'll see! Don't you make any mistake!"
"Don't you."
"You must think I'm a simple-minded innocent, to come trying to play your confidence tricks off on me. What do you want me to think I'll be in the charge of a policemen for, I'd like to know?"
