You must be very – very careful,” she said

however long it might take me I would woo you, pursue

you and hold you prisoner, if necessary, until you loved me

“Au revoir, mon brave, you will miss me as I will miss you and, when you do, all this unpleasantness will be forgotten.”

It was difficult for him to recognise in the smartly dressed soignée woman who came into the room where he was waiting for her, the wild drugged creature who had tried to murder Yursa.
