Somehow he believed that in the years ahead, after she understood, Lynda would be glad that he had asked this from her. "But why the hurry, Con?" she naturally questioned; "if people are going to be so spasmodic I'll have to get a partner. It may be all right, looked at financially, but it's the ruination of art."
