"All right," she retorted, "I will."
"Glad to hear it," said he. "And now I want a word with you. What do you mean by bringing that howling cad down here?"
"It's you who howl, not he. He's a very kind gentleman and very clever and he makes me laugh. He's not like you."
"He's a performing gorilla," cried Jaffery.
They were both exceedingly angry, and having walked very fast, they found themselves in front of the gate of the walled garden. Instinctively they entered and had the place to themselves.
"And a confounded bounder of a gorilla at that!" Jaffery continued.
"How dare you speak so of my friend?"
"You ought to be ashamed of yourself for having such a friend. And you're just going to drop him. Do you understand?"
"Shan't!" said Liosha.
"You shall. You're not going to be seen outside the house with him."
