But his only close friends were men, the men with whom he played tennis and golf, or with whom he was associated in his work.
She alone saw through his smile, and felt rather than knew that it hid a heart torn with suffering and emotion. A few days after this Von Barwig read in one of the papers that a man named Van Praag, whom he knew years before in Berlin as a ticket-taker in one of the theatres, was going to give a series of concerts in one of the large concert halls in New York.
