"So I have heard from a great many--women."

"And not men?"

"I have never happened to hold a conversation with a man on the powers of
Dr. Kemp. Women delight in such things."

"What things?"

"Why, giving in to the magnetic power of a strong man."

"You err slightly, Louis; it is the power, not the giving in that we
delight in, counting it a necessary part of manliness."

"Will you allow me to differ with you? Besides, apart from this great
first cause, I do not understand how, after a week of it, she has not
rebelled."

"I think I can answer that satisfactorily," replied his cousin, a
mischievous smile parting her lips and showing a row of strong white teeth;
"she is in love."

"Also?"

"With Father; and so does as she knows will please him best. Love is also
something every one loves to give in to."

"Every one who loves, you mean."
