Summary
“Do you twist your ankle in the rain to gain admission to gentlemen’s houses often?” Galpin asked, with a tight smile.
“I will not deign that ungentlemanly comment with a response,” Wednesday declared, “And I will have you know that this was all an accident. My interest in visiting Crosswood vanished after you were so keen to dismiss me.”
Galpin sat back in his chair. “My apologies, I simply wished to have more time to prepare the house for visitors. I am a bachelor who inherited it from a bachelor. I fear it suffers from a lack of a feminine touch.”
“Femininity is not what the house lacks. It wants to breathe. You’ve suffocated and stuffed away all its interesting parts.”
The humor returned to Galpin’s face, and he relaxed. “I forgot who I was talking to. You like the house then?”
“It has a good foundation. I’m sure the more I see of it, the more I will find to admire.”

Summary
Tyler took another step closer. Wednesday still didn’t flinch. They were the closest they had been in a year. "You aren’t still set on becoming my master, are you?”
It was ironic. Him, towering over her this way, while they both were aware in the end, she had all the power. She was the one with self control. He was the one destined to be subjugated. There were times he had thought it was the only logical conclusion to their story. That in the end, he would be hers. One way or another. Either a head on a mantle, or a pet in a cage.
