Do
give
me
your
word
that
there
will
never
be
anything
between
you
and
any
of
these
men
so
long
as
you
are
friendly
with
me
?
"
he
almost
pleaded
--
a
strange
role
for
him
"
I
do
n't
care
to
share
you
with
any
one
else
.
I
wo
n't
.
I
do
n't
mind
what
you
have
done
in
the
past
,
but
I
do
n't
want
you
to
be
unfaithful
in
the
future
.
"
"
What
a
question
!
Of
course
I
wo
n't
.
But
if
you
do
n't
believe
me
--
oh
,
dear
--
"
Stephanie
sighed
painfully
,
and
Cowperwood
's
face
clouded
with
angry
though
well-concealed
suspicion
and
jealousy
.
"
Well
,
I
'll
tell
you
,
Stephanie
,
I
believe
you
now
.
I
'm
going
to
take
your
word
.
But
if
you
do
deceive
me
,
and
I
should
find
it
out
,
I
will
quit
you
the
same
day
.
I
do
not
care
to
share
you
with
any
one
else
.
What
I
ca
n't
understand
,
if
you
care
for
me
,
is
how
you
can
take
so
much
interest
in
all
these
affairs
?
It
certainly
is
n't
devotion
to
your
art
that
's
impelling
you
,
is
it
?
"
"
Oh
,
are
you
going
to
go
on
quarreling
with
me
?
"
asked
Stephanie
,
naively
.
"
Wo
n't
you
believe
me
when
I
say
that
I
love
you
?
Perhaps
--
"
But
here
her
histrionic
ability
came
to
her
aid
,
and
she
sobbed
violently
.
Cowperwood
took
her
in
his
arms
.
"
Never
mind
,
"
he
soothed
.
"
I
do
believe
you
.
I
do
think
you
care
for
me
.
Only
I
wish
you
were
n't
such
a
butterfly
temperament
,
Stephanie
.
"
So
this
particular
lesion
for
the
time
being
was
healed
.
At
the
same
time
the
thought
of
readjusting
her
relations
so
that
they
would
avoid
disloyalty
to
Cowperwood
was
never
further
from
Stephanie
's
mind
.
Let
no
one
quarrel
with
Stephanie
Platow
.
She
was
an
unstable
chemical
compound
,
artistic
to
her
finger-tips
,
not
understood
or
properly
guarded
by
her
family
.
Her
interest
in
Cowperwood
,
his
force
and
ability
,
was
intense
.
So
was
her
interest
in
Forbes
Gurney
--
the
atmosphere
of
poetry
that
enveloped
him
.
She
studied
him
curiously
on
the
various
occasions
when
they
met
,
and
,
finding
him
bashful
and
recessive
,
set
out
to
lure
him
.
She
felt
that
he
was
lonely
and
depressed
and
poor
,
and
her
womanly
capacity
for
sympathy
naturally
bade
her
be
tender
.
Her
end
was
easily
achieved
.
One
night
,
when
they
were
all
out
in
Bliss
Bridge
's
single-sticker
--
a
fast-sailing
saucer
--
Stephanie
and
Forbes
Gurney
sat
forward
of
the
mast
looking
at
the
silver
moon
track
which
was
directly
ahead
.
The
rest
were
in
the
cockpit
"
cutting
up
"
--
laughing
and
singing
.
It
was
very
plain
to
all
that
Stephanie
was
becoming
interested
in
Forbes
Gurney
;
and
since
he
was
charming
and
she
wilful
,
nothing
was
done
to
interfere
with
them
,
except
to
throw
an
occasional
jest
their
way
.
Gurney
,
new
to
love
and
romance
,
scarcely
knew
how
to
take
his
good
fortune
,
how
to
begin
.
He
told
Stephanie
of
his
home
life
in
the
wheat-fields
of
the
Northwest
,
how
his
family
had
moved
from
Ohio
when
he
was
three
,
and
how
difficult
were
the
labors
he
had
always
undergone
.
