"How wonderful," said Ambrose dreamily, "for two to feel the same toward each other! I always thought that women, well, just allowed men to love them." "You dear innocent!" she whispered. "If you knew! Women are not supposed to give anything away! It makes men draw back. It makes them insufferable." "It makes me humble," said Ambrose. "You boy!" she breathed. "I'm years older than you," he said.

He is being lovingly tended, in a crapulous old age, by one of the hundred ladies he victimized. He takes it as a matter of course.

The man who talks to me about work is my enemy."
