that's rather to her credit, isn't It?
Would you mind to explain your imagi-

His testing tone made her Impa-
tent II don't think her character
has ever had a chance to develop;

she ought to be is 80 sure, that she

emptied me of all she wants?"
Yes. You have given her strong
weapons against me, and you may be
sure she'll use them to her advantage
