So it went.

Still, the personality of Lillian Semple was worth something, for she was really pleasing to look upon, making a picture wherever she stood or sat.
There were no children--a dispensation of sex conditions which had nothing to do with her, for she longed to have them.

She was without any notable experience in social life, except such as had come to the Wiggin family, of which she was a member--relatives and a few neighborhood friends visiting.

Lillian Wiggin, that was her maiden name--had two brothers and one sister, all living in Philadelphia and all married at this time.

They thought she had done very well in her marriage.
It could not be said that she had wildly loved Mr.Semple at any time.
Although she had cheerfully married him, he was not the kind of man who could arouse a notable passion in any woman.
