"I certainly so understood Florence." Mr. Elmendorf elevated his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders anew. "That is very unlike the story that was told me at head-quarters," said he, significantly. "What was that?" asked Mrs. Lawrence, with prompt and pardonable curiosity. "That he was ordered away under a cloud in order to put an end to probable scandal." "Gambling?" asked Mrs.
She had a strong woman's idea that the man whom she ought to love would not be gratified by her meeting another man at a private assignation, especially when that other man had written to her a love-letter; but she did not at all know how far such a sin might be regarded as pardonable according to the rules of the world recognised on such subjects.
