And that's why he can't be guilty of this horrible thing, because I've loved him for years, and he's known it. And he loves me, and he's loved me always. She sank exhausted into a chair, gasping for breath. Boulger looked at her for a moment, and he turned sick with anguish. What he had only suspected before, he knew now from her own lips; and it was harder than ever to bear.
And finding the Gileses and Fresbies here will make it all right. The times have changed!" Susy Suffern indulgently summed up. Mrs. Lidcote smiled. "Yes; a few years ago it would have seemed improbable that I should ever again be dining with Mary Giles and Harriet Fresbie and Mrs. Lorin Boulger."
But the party was got up for Mrs. Boulger. You see, it's very important that she should well, take a fancy to Leila and Wilbour; his being appointed to Rome virtually depends on it. And you know Leila insists on Rome in order to be near you. So she asked Mary Giles, who's intimate with the Boulgers, if the visit couldn't possibly be arranged; and Mary's cable caught Mrs. Boulger at Cherbourg.
She, of course, would go on writing to him for a time, but he would simply leave her letters unanswered, and the thing, of course, would come to an end at last. He afterwards said something to Boulger about Miss Demolines, but that was during the jollity of their supper, and he then declared that he would follow out that little game.
It was a lonely funeral, for Lucy had asked Robert Boulger, her only friend then in England, not to come; and she was the solitary mourner. The coffin was lowered into the grave, and the rector read the sad, beautiful words of the burial service. She could not grieve. Her father was at peace.

Arizona, a cage of love-birds, and a distinct impression of a recumbent human form, on the grass together, under a young birch tree.
One evening Dick asked the others to sup with him; and since Alec had a public dinner to attend, and Lucy was going to the play with Lady Kelsey, he took Julia Crowley to the opera. To make an even number he invited Robert Boulger to join them at the Savoy. After brushing his hair with the scrupulous thought his thinning locks compelled, Dick waited in the vestibule for Mrs. Crowley.
The butler put the matches on his salver and took them over to Alec, who lit his cigarette. 'Thank you. No one spoke till the butler left the room. Alec occupied himself idly in making smoke rings, and he watched them rise into the air. When they were alone he turned slowly to Boulger.

'I was hoping you would come up to town with me now, said Dick.
I'm very sorry that I can't give you anything in return. One's not mistress of one's love. I can only hope with all my heart that you'll fall in love with some girl who cares for you. You don't know how much I want you to be happy. Boulger drew back coldly. He would not allow himself to be touched, though the sweetness of her voice tore his heart-strings.
