Richard's call commonly lasted but a half-hour, for Senator Hanway must be in the Senate chamber at noon.

Thirty heavenly minutes they were; Dorothy and Richard promised and again promised undying love to one another with their eyes.

Senator Hanway never suspected this love-making, never intercepted one soft glance; for your politician is like a horse wearing blinders, seeing only the road before him, thinking of nothing but himself.

One morning after Senator Hanway had departed, Dorothy took Richard across to meet the blonde pythoness.

Dorothy said she wanted Richard to see Bess.
