Subsequent to this second meeting, Lynde thought the matter over quite calmly, and decided that he must make a definite effort to become more intimate with Aileen.

Though she was not as young as some others, she suited his present mood exactly.

She was the wife of an eminent financier, who had been in society once, and she herself had a dramatic record.

He was sure of that.
