"I'll tell you now, because--because I've decided I'm one of the family." And then, as if the earnestness were too heavy for him to carry it further, he continued, in his usual tone, "I'm drunk with power, Edith." "What do you want to tell me ?" she demanded, brusquely.
"Lamhorn made love to Sibyl," he said.
Edith hooted.

"SHE did to HIM! And because you overheard that spat between us the other day when I the same as accused her of it, and said something like that to you afterward--" "No," he said, gravely.

"I KNOW." "How ?" "I was there, one day a week ago, with Roscoe, and I heard Sibyl and Lamhorn--" Edith screamed with laughter.

"You were with ROSCOE--and you heard Lamhorn making love to Sibyl!" "No.

I heard them quarreling." "You're funnier than ever, Bibbs!" she cried.
