'The Moonshine Girl' The next evening Bruce and Edith were going to the Society Theatre with Aylmer.

It was their last meeting before he was to go away, Edith half expected that he would put it off, but there was no change made in the plans, and they met in the box as arranged.
Aylmer had expected during the whole day to hear that she had managed to postpone the party.

At one moment he was frightened and rather horrified when he thought of what he had done.

At another he was delighted and enchanted about it, and told himself that it was absolutely justified.

After all, he couldn't do more than go away if he found he was too fond of her.
