"It would be amusing, wouldn't it?" she asked with guileless frankness; "but, of course, it is not true this report of their reconciliation." "Whose reconciliation?" asked Miss Erroll innocently. "Why, Alixe Ruthven and Captain Selwyn. Everybody is discussing it, you know." "Reconciled? I don't understand," said Eileen, astonished. "They can't be; how can "
"Well, I clean forgot," said Fleetwood; "what did I say, anyway? A man can't always remember who's divorced from who in this town." Harmon, whose civility to Selwyn had possibly been based on his desire for pleasant relations with Austin Gerard and the Arickaree Loan and Trust Company, looked at Fleetwood thoroughly vexed.
