 You upbraid him for having asked you in the ballroom to run away with him.
 "He tells you that he loves you and cannot live without you.

 You think the burglar is familiar. Let your eyes travel from his head to his feet and back again.
 "Mordaunt cringe a little. What are you standing still for? Isn't your gray matter working this morn ing? Is everything above your collar asleep?
 Vera, move slowly forward, eyes directly on his eyes above that hand kerchief. Don't look at the gun. Don't 1 look crosse-eyed. Slower,
