Relentless
as
he
was
in
hewing
life
to
his
theory
--
hammering
substance
to
the
form
of
his
thought
--
yet
he
was
tender
,
too
,
in
the
manner
of
a
rainbow
dancing
over
an
abyss
.
For
the
moment
he
wanted
to
say
,
"
Poor
girlie
,
you
do
have
a
hard
time
,
do
n't
you
,
with
me
?
"
but
he
reflected
instantly
how
such
a
remark
would
be
received
.
He
meditated
,
holding
his
book
in
his
hand
above
his
knee
,
looking
at
the
purling
water
that
flowed
and
flowed
in
sprinkling
showers
over
the
sportive
marble
figures
of
mermaids
,
a
Triton
,
and
nymphs
astride
of
fishes
.
"
You
're
really
not
happy
in
this
state
,
any
more
,
are
you
?
"
he
inquired
.
"
Would
you
feel
any
more
comfortable
if
I
stayed
away
entirely
?
"
His
mind
had
turned
of
a
sudden
to
the
one
problem
that
was
fretting
him
and
to
the
opportunities
of
this
hour
.
"
You
would
,
"
she
replied
,
for
her
boredom
merely
concealed
her
unhappiness
in
no
longer
being
able
to
command
in
the
least
his
interest
or
his
sentiment
.
"
Why
do
you
say
that
in
just
that
way
?
"
he
asked
.
"
Because
I
know
you
would
.
I
know
why
you
ask
.
You
know
well
enough
that
it
is
n't
anything
I
want
to
do
that
is
concerned
.
It
's
what
you
want
to
do
.
You
'd
like
to
turn
me
off
like
an
old
horse
now
that
you
are
tired
of
me
,
and
so
you
ask
whether
I
would
feel
any
more
comfortable
.
What
a
liar
you
are
,
Frank
!
How
really
shifty
you
are
!
I
do
n't
wonder
you
're
a
multimillionaire
.
If
you
could
live
long
enough
you
would
eat
up
the
whole
world
.
Do
n't
you
think
for
one
moment
that
I
do
n't
know
of
Berenice
Fleming
here
in
New
York
,
and
how
you
're
dancing
attendance
on
her
--
because
I
do
.
I
know
how
you
have
been
hanging
about
her
for
months
and
months
--
ever
since
we
have
been
here
,
and
for
long
before
.
You
think
she
's
wonderful
now
because
she
's
young
and
in
society
.
I
've
seen
you
in
the
Waldorf
and
in
the
Park
hanging
on
her
every
word
,
looking
at
her
with
adoring
eyes
.
What
a
fool
you
are
,
to
be
so
big
a
man
!
Every
little
snip
,
if
she
has
pink
cheeks
and
a
doll
's
face
,
can
wind
you
right
around
her
finger
.
Rita
Sohlberg
did
it
;
Stephanie
Platow
did
it
;
Florence
Cochrane
did
it
;
Cecily
Haguenin
--
and
Heaven
knows
how
many
more
that
I
never
heard
of
.
I
suppose
Mrs.
Hand
still
lives
with
you
in
Chicago
--
the
cheap
strumpet
!
Now
it
's
Berenice
Fleming
and
her
frump
of
a
mother
.
From
all
I
can
learn
you
have
n't
been
able
to
get
her
yet
--
because
her
mother
's
too
shrewd
,
perhaps
--
but
you
probably
will
in
the
end
.
It
is
n't
you
so
much
as
your
money
that
they
're
after
.
Pah
!
Well
,
I
'm
unhappy
enough
,
but
it
is
n't
anything
you
can
remedy
any
more
.
Whatever
you
could
do
to
make
me
unhappy
you
have
done
,
and
now
you
talk
of
my
being
happier
away
from
you
.
Clever
boy
,
you
!
I
know
you
the
way
I
know
my
ten
fingers
.
You
do
n't
deceive
me
at
any
time
in
any
way
any
more
.
I
ca
n't
do
anything
about
it
.
I
ca
n't
stop
you
from
making
a
fool
of
yourself
with
every
woman
you
meet
,
and
having
people
talk
from
one
end
of
the
country
to
the
other
.
Why
,
for
a
woman
to
be
seen
with
you
is
enough
to
fix
her
reputation
forever
.
Right
now
all
Broadway
knows
you
're
running
after
Berenice
Fleming
.
Her
name
will
soon
be
as
sweet
as
those
of
the
others
you
've
had
.
She
might
as
well
give
herself
to
you
.
If
she
ever
had
a
decent
reputation
it
's
gone
by
now
,
you
can
depend
upon
that
.
These
remarks
irritated
Cowperwood
greatly
--
enraged
him
--
particularly
her
references
to
Berenice
.
What
were
you
to
do
with
such
a
woman
?
he
thought
.
Her
tongue
was
becoming
unbearable
;
her
speech
in
its
persistence
and
force
was
that
of
a
termagant
.
Surely
,
surely
,
he
had
made
a
great
mistake
in
marrying
her
.
At
the
same
time
the
control
of
her
was
largely
in
his
own
hands
even
yet
.
"
Aileen
,
"
he
said
,
coolly
,
at
the
end
of
her
speech
,
"
you
talk
too
much
.
You
rave
.
You
're
growing
vulgar
,
I
believe
.
Now
let
me
tell
you
something
.
"
And
he
fixed
her
with
a
hard
,
quieting
eye
.
"
I
have
no
apologies
to
make
.
Think
what
you
please
.
I
know
why
you
say
what
you
do
.
But
here
is
the
point
.
I
want
you
to
get
it
straight
and
clear
.
It
may
make
some
difference
eventually
if
you
're
any
kind
of
a
woman
at
all
.
