I am really very sorry that my sister-in-law has taken so serious a liberty, Captain Kearney. It is a mania of hers--simply a mania. Why did your men pay any attention to her? KEARNEY (with gravely dissembled humor). Well, I ahsked that question too. I said, Why did you obey that lady's orders instead of waiting for mine? They said they didn't see exactly how they could refuse. I ahsked whether they cawnsidered that discipline. They said, Well, sir, will you talk to the lady yourself next time?
