Blade was firmer now Hisvoice had a ring of finality but Marydidnt understand I cant go on apologising for you eternally You canthave a headache every night I musteither have a wife who can be thehead of my household or none
Into the womans heart there leaped-a sharp fear followed by the childishidea that perhaps because she wouldntgo to the opera she was to be pun-
ished sent away aloneruntll she wasforgiven
Youre tired of me she suggestedIf that were true and you filled the
bill we could put up with each otherho returned brutally but It Isnt so
Dont you love me she halfbreathed the question timidly
For a brief instant caughtat Slides heart tugged and tuggedHe turned with a look of infinite ten-
derness and said pimply Yes MaryI do His tone was genuine and sin
cereMary laughed a littler happy laughAt the sound Blades mood changedlike a flash It grated pq his alreadyoverwrought nerves It seemed to dlsmiss the controversy the argument to ring the deathknell of thedream that had camp to him Thecareless way In which she apparentlydropped the discussion of awaynettled him Prompted by a suddenimpulse snatched her workbasketfrom her lap and flung it the fulllength of room that bas-
