The detective was keenly interested at once. "Were you old enough to consider her remark seriously?" "Yes; I formed an idea as to her meaning."
Her heart fell with the thought that he was not to speak of this to her, and she knew that more than for anything else in life, more than anything she had ever known, she longed to hear him speak those words to her.
