Dumb with m isery, she nodded; and
after a little: “ You did n 't look, of

“I had no right," he said, shortly.
“O ther men wo-would have thought

said. “1 can not believe—”

this thing, and though with all his soul

“ Very well," he assented quietly.
“Shall I slop the cab now ?”
"P lease."
He tapped on th e roof of th e han­
