Well
,
that
picture
interested
me
intensely
.
I
inquired
about
you
,
and
learned
all
I
could
.
After
that
I
saw
another
picture
of
you
,
enlarged
,
in
a
Louisville
photographer
's
window
.
I
bought
it
.
It
is
in
my
office
now
--
my
private
office
--
in
Chicago
.
You
are
standing
by
a
mantelpiece
.
"
"
I
remember
,
"
replied
Berenice
,
moved
,
but
uncertain
.
"
Let
me
tell
you
a
little
something
about
my
life
,
will
you
?
It
wo
n't
take
long
.
I
was
born
in
Philadelphia
.
My
family
had
always
belonged
there
.
I
have
been
in
the
banking
and
street-railway
business
all
my
life
.
My
first
wife
was
a
Presbyterian
girl
,
religious
,
conventional
.
She
was
older
than
I
by
six
or
seven
years
.
I
was
happy
for
a
while
--
five
or
six
years
.
We
had
two
children
--
both
still
living
.
Then
I
met
my
present
wife
.
She
was
younger
than
myself
--
at
least
ten
years
,
and
very
good-looking
.
She
was
in
some
respects
more
intelligent
than
my
first
wife
--
at
least
less
conventional
,
more
generous
,
I
thought
.
I
fell
in
love
with
her
,
and
when
I
eventually
left
Philadelphia
I
got
a
divorce
and
married
her
.
I
was
greatly
in
love
with
her
at
the
time
.
I
thought
she
was
an
ideal
mate
for
me
,
and
I
still
think
she
has
many
qualities
which
make
her
attractive
.
But
my
own
ideals
in
regard
to
women
have
all
the
time
been
slowly
changing
.
I
have
come
to
see
,
through
various
experiments
,
that
she
is
not
the
ideal
woman
for
me
at
all
.
She
does
not
understand
me
.
I
do
n't
pretend
to
understand
myself
,
but
it
has
occurred
to
me
that
there
might
be
a
woman
somewhere
who
would
understand
me
better
than
I
understand
myself
,
who
would
see
the
things
that
I
do
n't
see
about
myself
,
and
would
like
me
,
anyhow
.
I
might
as
well
tell
you
that
I
have
been
a
lover
of
women
always
.
There
is
just
one
ideal
thing
in
this
world
to
me
,
and
that
is
the
woman
that
I
would
like
to
have
.
"
"
I
should
think
it
would
make
it
rather
difficult
for
any
one
woman
to
discover
just
which
woman
you
would
like
to
have
?
"
smiled
Berenice
,
whimsically
.
Cowperwood
was
unabashed
.
"
It
would
,
I
presume
,
unless
she
should
chance
to
be
the
very
one
woman
I
am
talking
about
,
"
he
replied
,
impressively
.
"
I
should
think
she
would
have
her
work
cut
out
for
her
under
any
circumstances
,
"
added
Berenice
,
lightly
,
but
with
a
touch
of
sympathy
in
her
voice
.
"
I
am
making
a
confession
,
"
replied
Cowperwood
,
seriously
and
a
little
heavily
.
"
I
am
not
apologizing
for
myself
.
The
women
I
have
known
would
make
ideal
wives
for
some
men
,
but
not
for
me
.
Life
has
taught
me
that
much
.
It
has
changed
me
.
"
"
And
do
you
think
the
process
has
stopped
by
any
means
?
"
she
replied
,
quaintly
,
with
that
air
of
superior
banter
which
puzzled
,
fascinated
,
defied
him
.
