CHAPTER TEN To Francie's horror as she lay there beside him, still tied to the rigid posts, Maxie had explained just how she was to be used. She begged and pleaded constantly for him not to do this to her, to let her go. Then, she gave up. She could see that he had no intention of letting this chance to earn good money escape him.

But she spit at him and cursed him with every vile name that came to her mind. She shrieked her defiance and told him that she would fight every man that came near her, and that when she did, the man, whoever he was, wouldn't be satisfied, that he would only end up going somewhere else.
