said Minnie, 'and not have given them any hold to talk about her, and then they couldn't have done it.' ¡¡¡¡'Couldn't have done it, my dear!' retorted Mr. Omer. 'Couldn't have done it! Is that YOUR knowledge of life? What is there that any woman couldn't do, that she shouldn't do - especially on the subject of another woman's good looks?' ¡¡¡¡I really thought it was all over with Mr. Omer, after he had uttered this libellous pleasantry.
