It couldn't be, by George, that she was deceiving him.

She hadn't acted that way.

Why, even last night she had been as friendly toward him as could be, and Hurstwood too.

Look how they acted! He could hardly believe they would try to deceive him.
His thoughts burst into words.
"She did act sort of funny at times.

Here she had dressed, and gone out this morning and never said a word." He scratched his head and prepared to go down town.
