What
cause
?
"
he
asked
,
bending
over
her
and
smoothing
her
plump
arms
with
his
brown
hands
.
"
Oh
,
no
definite
cause
,
perhaps
.
You
are
a
cause
in
yourself
.
I
told
you
how
sweet
I
thought
you
were
,
the
night
we
were
at
the
Alcott
.
Did
n't
you
understand
then
?
I
thought
you
did
.
"
"
Oh
,
I
understood
that
you
liked
me
,
and
all
that
,
perhaps
.
Any
one
might
do
that
.
But
as
for
anything
like
--
well
--
taking
such
liberties
with
me
--
I
never
dreamed
of
it
.
But
listen
.
I
think
I
hear
some
one
coming
.
"
Aileen
,
making
a
sudden
vigorous
effort
to
free
herself
and
failing
,
added
:
"
Please
let
me
go
,
Mr.
Lynde
.
It
is
n't
very
gallant
of
you
,
I
must
say
,
restraining
a
woman
against
her
will
.
If
I
had
given
you
any
real
cause
--
I
shall
be
angry
in
a
moment
.
"
Again
the
even
smiling
teeth
and
dark
,
wrinkling
,
malicious
eyes
.
"
Really
!
How
you
go
on
!
You
would
think
I
was
a
perfect
stranger
.
Do
n't
you
remember
what
you
said
to
me
at
lunch
?
You
did
n't
keep
your
promise
.
You
practically
gave
me
to
understand
that
you
would
come
.
Why
did
n't
you
?
Are
you
afraid
of
me
,
or
do
n't
you
like
me
,
or
both
?
I
think
you
're
delicious
,
splendid
,
and
I
want
to
know
.
"
He
shifted
his
position
,
putting
one
arm
about
her
waist
,
pulling
her
close
to
him
,
looking
into
her
eyes
.
With
the
other
he
held
her
free
arm
.
Suddenly
he
covered
her
mouth
with
his
and
then
kissed
her
cheeks
.
"
You
care
for
me
,
do
n't
you
?
What
did
you
mean
by
saying
you
might
come
,
if
you
did
n't
?
"
He
held
her
quite
firm
,
while
Aileen
struggled
.
It
was
a
new
sensation
this
--
that
of
the
other
man
,
and
this
was
Polk
Lynde
,
the
first
individual
outside
of
Cowperwood
to
whom
she
had
ever
felt
drawn
.
But
now
,
here
,
in
her
own
room
--
and
it
was
within
the
range
of
possibilities
that
Cowperwood
might
return
or
the
servants
enter
.
"
Oh
,
but
think
what
you
are
doing
,
"
she
protested
,
not
really
disturbed
as
yet
as
to
the
outcome
of
the
contest
with
him
,
and
feeling
as
though
he
were
merely
trying
to
make
her
be
sweet
to
him
without
intending
anything
more
at
present
--
"
here
in
my
own
room
!
Really
,
you
're
not
the
man
I
thought
you
were
at
all
,
if
you
do
n't
instantly
let
me
go
.
Mr.
Lynde
!
Mr.
Lynde
!
"
(
He
had
bent
over
and
was
kissing
her
)
.
"
Oh
,
you
should
n't
do
this
!
Really
!
I
--
I
said
I
might
come
,
but
that
was
far
from
doing
it
.
And
to
have
you
come
here
and
take
advantage
of
me
in
this
way
!
I
think
you
're
horrid
.
If
I
ever
had
any
interest
in
you
,
it
is
quite
dead
now
,
I
can
assure
you
.
Unless
you
let
me
go
at
once
,
I
give
you
my
word
I
will
never
see
you
any
more
.
I
wo
n't
!
Really
,
I
wo
n't
!
I
mean
it
!
Oh
,
please
let
me
go
!
I
'll
scream
,
I
tell
you
!
I
'll
never
see
you
again
after
this
day
!
Oh
--
"
It
was
an
intense
but
useless
struggle
.
Coming
home
one
evening
about
a
week
later
,
Cowperwood
found
Aileen
humming
cheerfully
,
and
yet
also
in
a
seemingly
deep
and
reflective
mood
.
She
was
just
completing
an
evening
toilet
,
and
looked
young
and
colorful
--
quite
her
avid
,
seeking
self
of
earlier
days
.
"
Well
,
"
he
asked
,
cheerfully
,
"
how
have
things
gone
to-day
?
"
Aileen
,
feeling
somehow
,
as
one
will
on
occasions
,
that
if
she
had
done
wrong
she
was
justified
and
that
sometime
because
of
this
she
might
even
win
Cowperwood
back
,
felt
somewhat
kindlier
toward
him
.
"
Oh
,
very
well
,
"
she
replied
.
"
I
stopped
in
at
the
Hoecksemas
'
this
afternoon
for
a
little
while
.
They
're
going
to
Mexico
in
November
.
She
has
the
darlingest
new
basket-carriage
--
if
she
only
looked
like
anything
when
she
rode
in
it
.
Etta
is
getting
ready
to
enter
Bryn
Mawr
.
She
is
all
fussed
up
about
leaving
her
dog
and
cat
.
Then
I
went
down
to
one
of
Lane
Cross
's
receptions
,
and
over
to
Merrill
's
"
--
she
was
referring
to
the
great
store
--
"
and
home
.
I
saw
Taylor
Lord
and
Polk
Lynde
together
in
Wabash
Avenue
.
