"She always intended to marry him and she is so rich I expect he felt that would be a good thing. Freynie says he is very much harder up then anyone knows." Her kind, common sense told her that a man's doing even a low thing for expediency would hurt a woman who loved him, less than that the motive for his action should have been one of inclination.
They talked of many things and mutual friends. He was doing what was a comparatively rare thing in those days, taking over a motor to tour down to Venice in, and Cora was duly interested. Freynie adored motoring, too, she said, and that was how they intended to spend their honeymoon. She was going to be married in a few weeks, and was radiantly happy.
"Well, I should not let any of that nonsense ever stand between Freynie and me, thank goodness!" she concluded. But John Derringham limped off to the bows of the ship, quivering with pain.

"To see you!" she exclaimed. "That is so good! There is no Styx here, and we must have some fun together!" She sat down upon a chair which Lord Freynault dragged up for her, and he himself took another beyond the Professor so the two girls could talk together. "I am going to be married you know!" Cora announced gayly. "Freynie and I settled it at a ball last night, but we haven't told anyone yet!
