Excerpt from The Capture of Paul Beck
I beg your pardon - I mean it was sheer presumption. I know well I'm not fit to tie your shoe-string. But have a little pity on a chap. I couldn't hold in; Upon my soul I couldn't. Don't refuse me straight away; give me a little hope. I don't want you to say Yes.
