He placed his arm about her waist, held her elbow firmly with his other hand, and began to march her down the corridor.
She said, with a faint hiccup, “You’re passionate.”
He said, “Ma’am, I’m just trying to get you to your room.”
She repeated, “You’re passionate.”
“Ma’am,” he said, “I’m a married man and I’m only interested in getting you to your room.”
