[MaC] Interviewing Fitzroy

[Dorothea Salo]

	Pamela had made a grab for Tabitha as she left the couch, but missed 
badly; her teacup had overturned and spilt its contents over her dress, 
the couch, and the floor. She felt the insistent tingle on her leg that 
meant a minor burn from the hot liquid, but there were more important 
matters to attend to.

	If she restrained Tabitha, that would only give Fitzroy opportunity to 
hurt her, and hurt her he no doubt would, having as he did all the 
gentlemanly feeling of Mrs. Evans's horrid orange cat. So she stood just 
outside the orbit of the fight, waiting for someone else to haul Fitzroy 
out of it and speaking urgently to the nurse. "Tabitha, listen to me. 
Tabitha, the constables will be coming. If you hurt him, you'll be in 
trouble yourself. Tabitha, please -- come out of it!"
