But this was the culminating unhappiness, that he should know, from Alix's brave and gentle and generous look as they parted, that Alix knew.
His friend regarded him with the innocent stare which had made his fortune. "Remember I spoke to you some time ago about renting that space over the Orpheum?" "The nursery? Yes." "Well, it's come up again. Different party, this time.
Through the jostling, good-natured crowd which blocked the sidewalk in front of the Orpheum Theatre, that Sunday at two o'clock, a policeman in uniform pushed his way to the ticket-booth.
