I wouldn't have accepted him if he hadn't made such a perfectly dreadful threat." "Oh! That old stall about rushing out and committing suicide." "No, worse than that" "But all of those threats are bluffs. I Buppose he said he'd kill the next man who called on you, eh?" "No, no! I've heard that before.
