are so happy and all that； but I don't see the necessity of rubbing
it into a fellow。 You know how I feel。 I am glad for you andI
am glad for Rupert。 Or； at least I told him so。〃
〃But； Jack；〃 said the girl； her eyes burning with a deep inner
glow； 〃Rupert has nothing to do with it。 Rupert； indeed；〃 and she
laughed scornfully。 〃Oh； Jack； why can't you see？〃
〃See what？〃 he said crossly。
〃Jack；〃 she said softly； turning toward him and standing very near
him； 〃you remember the note you sent me？〃
〃Note？〃
〃The note you sent the night of the hockey dance？〃
〃Yes；〃 said Jack bitterly； 〃I remember。〃
〃And you remember； too； how horrid I was to you the next time I saw
you？ How horrid？ Oh； Jack； it broke my heart。〃 Her voice
faltered a moment and her shining eyes grew dim。 〃I was so horrid
to you。〃
〃Oh； no；〃 said Jack coolly； 〃you were kind。 You were very kind and
sisterly； as I remember。〃
〃Jack；〃 she said and her breath began to come hurriedly； 〃I got
that note yesterday。 Only yesterday； Jack。〃
〃Yesterday？〃
〃Yes； only yesterday。 And I read it； Jack；〃 she added with a happy
laugh。 〃And in that note； Jack； you saiddo you remember〃
But Jack stood gazing stupidly at her。 She pulled the note from
her bosom。
〃Oh； Jack； you said〃
Still Jack gazed at her。
〃Jack； you will kill me。 Won't you hurry？ Oh； I can't wait a
moment longer。 You said you were going to tell me something；
Jack。〃 She stood radiant； breathless and madly alluring。 〃And oh；
Jack； won't you tell me？〃
〃Adrien；〃 said Jack； his voice husky and uncontrolled。 〃Do you
mean that you〃
〃Oh； Jack； tell me quick；〃 she said； swaying toward him。 And while
she clung to him taking his kisses on her lips； Jack told her。
