I don't see why I should be cheated out of the one thing I want most, do you ?" Juliet's eyes came up to his, slowly, somewhat reluctantly.

"I'm afraid I haven't much sympathy with you," she said.
"You haven't ?" he looked amazed.
"No." She paused a moment.

"It was a pity you told me.

You see, a woman doesn't care to be married--just for that." "And what do you suppose she married me for ?" he demanded indignantly.
"Do you think she was in love with me--a man thirty years older than herself?
Oh, I assure you, there were never any illusions on that score! I had a good deal to offer her, and she jumped at it." Juliet gave a slight shiver, and abruptly his manner changed.
"I'm sorry.

Put my foot in it again, have I?
You'll have to forgive me, please.
