'I shall never forget you, Jerrie, he said, 'or cease to hope that you will change your mind, unless and here he started so suddenly that the wet parasol, down which streams of water were still coursing their way to Jerrie's back, dropped from his hand and rolled off upon the bed of fine needles at his feet, just where it had been in the morning when Tom was there instead of himself 'unless there is some one between us, some other man whom you love.
'I'd picked out some; big bug, who perhaps wouldn't wipe her shoes on you. Jerrie is handsome as blazes and no mistake, with a kinder up and comin' way about her which takes the folks.
'Jerrie, Jerrie! you must come now, for here is Dick St. Claire. For an instant Jerrie hesitated, and then ashamed of the feeling which had at first prompted her not to let Dick into the wood-shed, she replied: 'If Tom and Billy can he admitted to my boudoir, Dick can. Send him in.
Jerrie thought she might, but the toss of the fine maid's head showed that she thought differently, as she left the room with her mistress' message. 'Thunderation! I didn't want to see her. It's enough to have to call, was Tom's mental comment, when Doris told him he was to walk up stairs.

'Harold will tell you what, Maude answered 'He will understand what I mean, and you must tell him, for I shall not be here when he comes, I am sure of it.
'And I shall be there, too, Jerrie whispered, or rather nodded to herself. 'I know I shall, and I do not believe one word of the Maude affair, and never will until he tells me himself, or she; and then well, then, I will be glad for them, until I come to be really glad myself.
Tracy, who, all through the reading had stood like a block of granite by the window, turned and walking swiftly up to Jerrie, said, in a bitter tone: 'Of course there is no mistake. I do not doubt that you are mistress here, and am ready to leave at once. Shall we pack up and quit to-night?
Tracy, at the door, gave some orders to a servant. 'You can go now, she said, returning to the couch, and dismissing him with her usual hauteur of manner; while Maude put up her hand and whispered: 'Come soon and Jerrie.
