And is that so great a sin, Dick?"
Are there any-WOrse?"
Oh. yes, one might kill man

woman. or blast a mans character;
indeed 1t seems to me that there

YOU can't. and if YOU ask me why,

Then" said Barnabas, I must

oh. by all means" nodded the
viscount. If you have taste for
snakes. and spiders, and vermin of
