I am paying .-- I mean, I owe you everything, and what I don't owe you, I owe Kitty.

Last night you lent me--" He stopped, caught himself, and began again.
"It was more than even you knew, Clark," he said, looking the other kindly in the eyes, "and I'll owe you a debt of gratitude all my life.
All I ask is, that you will forget the past and help me in the future and sometimes lend me Kitty.

I never knew until now how good it was to have a partner." Just then he became conscious that someone else was near him.

Kitty, with wide-open, happy eyes, was standing beside them looking up inquiringly in their faces.
