Excerpt: ...in a low voice, holding open the door. The woman turned on him. She was evidently in a prostitute's tantrum of malicious deviltry. Presently she would begin to lash herself into a wild rage. Ah! this is the one!' she sneered, and raising her voice, she called, Mannie, Mannie, come in here, quick!'
