And in the name of Heaven, what am I to say to this poor, old man here? I can't explain that his daughter isn't in any danger of being poor, but merely of being locked up in jail! And in the name of Heaven, how long does that outrageous angel expect me to remain in this state of suspense!" AND IN THE NAME OF HEAVEN WHAT AM I TO SAY TO THIS POOR OLD MAN HERE I CAN'T EXPLAIN THAT HIS DAUGHTER ISN'T IN ANY DANGER OF BEING POOR BUT MERELY BEING LOCKED UP IN JAIL AND IN THE NAME OF HEAVEN HOW LONG DOES THAT OUTRAGEOUS ANGEL EXPECT ME TO REMAIN IN THIS STATE OF SUSPENSE
uite believe that Peggy had destroyed the will; the thing out-Heroded Herod, out-Margareted Margaret. But if she had, it struck him as a high-handed proceeding, entailing certain vague penalties made and provided by the law to cover just such cases--penalties of whose nature he was entirely ignorant and didn't care to think. Heavens! for all he knew, that angel might have let herself in for a jail sentence. Billy pictured that queen among women! that paragon! with her glorious hair cropped and her pink-tipped little hands set to beating hemp--he had a shadowy notion that the lives of all female convicts were devoted to this pursuit--and groaned in horror. "In the name of Heaven!" Mr. Woods demanded of his soul, "what _possible_ reason could she have had for this new insanity? And in the name of Heaven, why couldn't she have put off her _tête-à-tête_ with Kennaston long enough to explain? And in the name of Heaven, what does she see to admire in that putty-faced, grimacing ass, any way!  PERTURBATION HE COULD NOT QUITE BELIEVE THAT PEGGY HAD DESTROYED THE WILL THE THING OUT HERODED HARRID OUT MARGARETTED MARGARET BUT IF SHE HAD IT STRUCK HIM AS A HIGH HANDED PROCEEDING ENTAILING CERTAIN VAGUE PENALTIES MADE AND PROVIDED BY THE LAW TO COVER JUST SUCH CASES PENALTIES OF WHOSE NATURE HE WAS ENTIRELY IGNORANT AND DIDN'T CARE TO THINK HEAVENS FOR ALL HE KNEW THAT ANGEL MIGHT HAVE LET HERSELF IN FOR A JAIL SENTENCE BILLY PICTURED THAT QUEEN AMONG WOMEN THAT PARAGON WITH HER GLORIOUS HAIR CROPPED AND HER PINK TIPPED LITTLE HAND SET TO BEATING HEMP HE HAD A SHADOWY NOTION THAT THE LIVES OF ALL FEMALE CONVICTS WERE DEVOTED TO THIS PURSUIT AND GROANED IN HORROR IN THE NAME OF HEAVEN MISTER WOODS DEMANDED OF HIS SOUL WHAT POSSIBLE REASON COULD SHE HAVE HAD FOR THIS NEW INSANITY AND IN THE NAME OF HEAVEN WHY COULDN'T SHE HAVE PUT OFF HER TETE A TETE WITH CANNASTON LONG ENOUGH TO EXPLAIN AND IN THE NAME OF HEAVEN WHAT DOES SHE SEE TO ADMIRE IN THAT PUTTY FACED GRIMACING ASS ANYWAY
