K., who was a one-woman man, could not explain it. From inside the bar Bill took a careful survey of Le Moyne. He noted his tall figure and shabby suit, the slight stoop, the hair graying over his ears. Barkeepers know men: that's a part of the job. After his survey he went behind the bar and got the revolver from under an overturned pail. K. thrust it into his pocket.
The first thought of the girl in answering this is that it was a foolish question even to ask. Of course she does. But for her classroom? No, that is a different sort of game, in which the responsibility lies all on the shoulders of the instructor. It is a one-woman or a one-man game, and very often the students are but spectators, cheering or indifferent, approving or disapproving.
Her voice fell rather flat. The Chief could not think of anything to say. Her child, and not his! He was a one-woman man, you see and this was the woman. "I have seen her," he said presently. "She's like you, Lily." That was a wrong move the Lily; for it gave her courage to put her hand on his arm. "It is so long since we have met," she said wistfully.
Only in the intimacy of the three of them alone did Jerry hear him called: "Husband-Man," "My Man," "Patient One," "Dear Man," "Lover," and "This Woman's Delight." But in no way could Jerry utter these names in address of the one-man nor the many names in address of the one-woman.
Then what about Willy Cameron? Did He mean her to hold him to that now? Willy did not love her. Perhaps he would grow to love her, but she was seeing things more clearly than she had before, and one of the things she saw was that Willy Cameron was a one-woman man, and that she was not the woman. "But I love him so," she would cry to herself. The ward moved in its orderly routine around her.
I'll be working like a nigger out yonder, and making my pile, and banking it up, and never seeing nothing but the goold and the girls " "My goodness! What do you say?" "Aw, never fear! I'm a one-woman man, Kate; but loving one is giving me eyes for all. And you'll be waiting for me constant, and never giving a skute of your little eye to them drapers and druggists from Ramsey " "Not one of them?
And not for a long time afterward, MacIlwaine stated, had Grandison been guilty of interest in any woman. And whatever it was, it had been unvaryingly decent. Never a hint of gossip or scandal; and the entire community had come to accept that he was a one-woman man, and would never marry again.
He, who had never looked twice on a woman, had looked thrice on her and again. He, the one-woman man, had found the one woman and had lost her.
Without warning, he caught her close in his arms so that she could feel the pounding of his heart against her breast, kissed her cheeks, her hair, the round, firm white neck of her, with lips that burned. Then he held her off at arm's length. "That's how I care," he said defiantly. "That's how I want you. No other way. I'm a one-woman man.
"Strange race," Clayton reflected idly, as Nolan's voice sang on. "Don't know what they want, but want it like the devil. One-woman men, too. Curious!" It occurred to him then that his own reflection was as odd as the fidelity of the Irish. He had been faithful to his wife. He had never thought of being anything else. He did not pursue that line of thought.
