An hour later someone knocked at an inner door which led to steep side stairs connecting with a side street entrance. Wondering who it was Mary opened it, to find Steve, very flushed and handsome, a flower in his buttonhole yet no hint of rice about him. "Sh-h-h! Not a word out loud! I want to escape. Mrs. O'Valley is waiting round the corner in a cab.
O'Valley and being told that he was not in, other voices asking for Miss Faithful and being told she was not at liberty just now would they be seated?
"You'd miss even a heartache if it was all you had," she whispered to herself from within the folds of Steve's office coat. During the summer the O'Valley Leather Company discovered that Mary Faithful made quite as efficient a manager as Steve O'Valley himself.
Beatrice dashed in, to Mary's relief, to bestow over a week late a Christmas present of perfume and a black-silk waist. "Mr. O'Valley has explained how rushed I have been with my classes," she began, prettily, "but I have thought of you in all your sorrow. I lost my dear mother when I was too young to remember her, still it means a bond between us.... Oh, you are not wearing black?
"Before long two bank accounts will beat as one," Trudy said to Mary Faithful. "Tra-la-la-la-la," humming the wedding march while the office force of the O'Valley Leather Company listened with expressions ranging from grins to frowns. "Sh-h-h! Mr. O'Valley has just opened his door."
Someone was fitting more hangings in the den, and a woman was disputing with her co-worker as to the best place for the goldfish globe and the co-worker was telling her that Monster's house was to occupy the room yes, Monster, the O'Valley dog a pound and a half, he weighed, and was subject to pneumonia.
And if this impossible person could bring Gaylord into the ranks of prosperity in a short time, making everyone accept her, what couldn't she, Beatrice O'Valley, do with Gay if she tried seriously tried? He would not linger beside Trudy if Beatrice gave him to understand there was a place for him at her own hearth.
She felt that particularly toward Luke must she keep up the delusion of being a commercial nun, content with her part in things. "It's such a horrid day. I rode on a car that was as crowded as a cattle shipment. My head aches. The stenographer has left to be married." "You mean you are not interested about Steve O'Valley?" Luke was not to be trifled with regarding the affair.
She even set old golf clubs and motor togs in the tiny hall, and she timed Beatrice's arrival so as to put the one grand-opera record on the talking machine just as she was coming up the stairs. Then she ran to the door in pretty confusion, to say spiritedly: "Oh, Mrs. O'Valley, so good of you. I'm ever so happy to have you.
The daring of the thing pleased Constantine to the point of saying: "Do you want a loan, O'Valley? I think you'll make good. Then it's up to my daughter; she knows whom she wants to marry better than I do. You're a decent sort her mother would have liked you." "I don't want a loan just yet. I want to make her marry me because I have made my own money and can take care of my own wife.
