She turned to Martin Hillyard in commiseration. "Oh, don't tell me that you are in love with her too! I should be so sorry." "No, I am not," Martin Hillyard hastened to reassure her, "not one bit."

Her whole attitude demanded of him an explanation of how he dared not to be in love with her darling. |
