<br> "Why, now you put it like that," he exclaimed, "I can see that Ijolly well am! It's an amazing thing, you know, habit and all that.
<br> I've been so accustomed for years to jumping through hoops andshamming dead when the mater lifted a little finger, that itabsolutely never occurred to me that I had a soul of my own. I giveyou my honest word I never saw it till this moment.""And now it's too late!""Eh?"George indicated Alice with a gesture. The newly-made Mrs. Byngsmiled.
<br> "Mr. Bevan means that now you've got to jump through hoops and shamdead when I lift a little finger!"Reggie raised her hand to his lips, and nibbled at it gently.
