When he visited Steve's office in the first flush of Steve's success, to ask the thousandth favour from him, and spied Trudy Burrows in all her lemon-kid booted, pink-chiffon waisted, red-haired loveliness as virile and bewitching as any one Gaylord's pale little mind could picture he proved himself a "true democrat," as he boasted at the club, and offered her his hand in marriage in short order.
Nalbro Bartley - The Gorgeous Girl
