Cowperwood
,
under
the
circumstances
,
attempted
to
be
as
suave
as
possible
,
having
caught
the
implication
clearly
.
"
Aileen
,
"
he
cooed
,
"
how
you
talk
!
Why
do
you
say
that
?
You
know
I
care
for
you
.
I
ca
n't
prevent
anything
you
want
to
do
,
and
I
'm
sure
you
know
I
do
n't
want
to
.
It
's
you
that
I
want
to
see
satisfied
.
You
know
that
I
care
.
"
"
Yes
,
I
know
how
you
care
,
"
replied
Aileen
,
her
mood
changing
for
the
moment
.
"
Do
n't
start
that
old
stuff
,
please
.
I
'm
sick
of
it
.
I
know
how
you
're
running
around
.
I
know
about
Mrs.
Hand
.
Even
the
newspapers
make
that
plain
.
You
've
been
home
just
one
evening
in
the
last
eight
days
,
long
enough
for
me
to
get
more
than
a
glimpse
of
you
.
Do
n't
talk
to
me
.
Do
n't
try
to
bill
and
coo
.
I
've
always
known
.
Do
n't
think
I
do
n't
know
who
your
latest
flame
is
.
But
do
n't
begin
to
whine
,
and
do
n't
quarrel
with
me
if
I
go
about
and
get
interested
in
other
men
,
as
I
certainly
will
.
It
will
be
all
your
fault
if
I
do
,
and
you
know
it
.
Do
n't
begin
and
complain
.
It
wo
n't
do
you
any
good
.
I
'm
not
going
to
sit
here
and
be
made
a
fool
of
.
I
've
told
you
that
over
and
over
.
You
do
n't
believe
it
,
but
I
'm
not
.
I
told
you
that
I
'd
find
some
one
one
of
these
days
,
and
I
will
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
I
have
already
.
"
At
this
remark
Cowperwood
surveyed
her
coolly
,
critically
,
and
yet
not
unsympathetically
;
but
she
swung
out
of
the
room
with
a
defiant
air
before
anything
could
be
said
,
and
went
down
to
the
music-room
,
from
whence
a
few
moments
later
there
rolled
up
to
him
from
the
hall
below
the
strains
of
the
second
Hungarian
Rhapsodie
,
feelingly
and
for
once
movingly
played
.
Into
it
Aileen
put
some
of
her
own
wild
woe
and
misery
.
Cowperwood
hated
the
thought
for
the
moment
that
some
one
as
smug
as
Lynde
--
so
good-looking
,
so
suave
a
society
rake
--
should
interest
Aileen
;
but
if
it
must
be
,
it
must
be
.
He
could
have
no
honest
reason
for
complaint
.
At
the
same
time
a
breath
of
real
sorrow
for
the
days
that
had
gone
swept
over
him
.
He
remembered
her
in
Philadelphia
in
her
red
cape
as
a
school-girl
--
in
his
father
's
house
--
out
horseback-riding
,
driving
.
What
a
splendid
,
loving
girl
she
had
been
--
such
a
sweet
fool
of
love
.
Could
she
really
have
decided
not
to
worry
about
him
any
more
?
Could
it
be
possible
that
she
might
find
some
one
else
who
would
be
interested
in
her
,
and
in
whom
she
would
take
a
keen
interest
?
It
was
an
odd
thought
for
him
.
He
watched
her
as
she
came
into
the
dining-room
later
,
arrayed
in
green
silk
of
the
shade
of
copper
patina
,
her
hair
done
in
a
high
coil
--
and
in
spite
of
himself
he
could
not
help
admiring
her
.
She
looked
very
young
in
her
soul
,
and
yet
moody
--
loving
(
for
some
one
)
,
eager
,
and
defiant
.
He
reflected
for
a
moment
what
terrible
things
passion
and
love
are
--
how
they
make
fools
of
us
all
.
"
All
of
us
are
in
the
grip
of
a
great
creative
impulse
,
"
he
said
to
himself
.
He
talked
of
other
things
for
a
while
--
the
approaching
election
,
a
poster-wagon
he
had
seen
bearing
the
question
,
"
Shall
Cowperwood
own
the
city
?
"
"
Pretty
cheap
politics
,
I
call
that
,
"
he
commented
.
And
then
he
told
of
stopping
in
a
so-called
Republican
wigwam
at
State
and
Sixteenth
streets
--
a
great
,
cheaply
erected
,
unpainted
wooden
shack
with
seats
,
and
of
hearing
himself
bitterly
denounced
by
the
reigning
orator
.
"
I
was
tempted
once
to
ask
that
donkey
a
few
questions
,
"
he
added
,
"
but
I
decided
I
would
n't
.
"
Aileen
had
to
smile
.
In
spite
of
all
his
faults
he
was
such
a
wonderful
man
--
to
set
a
city
thus
by
the
ears
.
"
Yet
,
what
care
I
how
fair
he
be
,
if
he
be
not
fair
to
me
.
"
"
Did
you
meet
any
one
else
besides
Lynde
you
liked
?
"
he
finally
asked
,
archly
,
seeking
to
gather
further
data
without
stirring
up
too
much
feeling
.
Aileen
,
who
had
been
studying
him
,
feeling
sure
the
subject
would
come
up
again
,
replied
:
"
No
,
I
have
n't
;
but
I
do
n't
need
to
.
One
is
enough
.
"
