The club story is that a handsome young officer, who left his newly wedded wife in Bristol, England, was so much enamored of the charming widow aboard ship that suspicions were aroused, and in fact confirmed, by an additional report that valuable diamonds had been sent by the same officer from Tiffany's to the lady, who is stopping somewhere on Central Park.
Ask for anything you please and you shall have it to-morrow we'll go to Tiffany's and " Quickly she put her hand over his mouth. "Don't dear, don't!" she cried. "I don't want you to buy things for me I just want you to love me, dear! To love me! Love me! Love me!" He smiled as he clasped her closer." "No matter how hard I tried I couldn't help loving you." "That's all I want," she murmured.
And, after all, Howard had not bought anything at Tiffany's; he said so himself. But it was evident that Agatha had chanced on the collar that Belwether thought he saw somebody else examining. She turned, and looked at the dead-white neck of the girl. The collar was wonderful a miracle of pale fire. And Sylvia, musing, let her thoughts run on, dreamy eyes brooding.
Mortimer had already furnished his world with sufficient material for jests of that flavour; now they were telling a new one: how, as Leila was standing before Tiffany's looking for her carriage, a masher accosted her, and, at her haughty stare, said sneeringly: "Oh, you can't play that game on me; I've seen you with Leroy Mortimer!"

Please let me go!" He smiled significantly at her. "You just be a nice, good little wife, and in the morning you can go down to Tiffany's and buy anything you like, anything " "Ha! ha!" she cried desperately, hopelessly, "no wonder you talk of buying me! If I did that where would I be any better than a woman of the streets?"
"And I regret to say that Mary hasn't a cousin on the whole police force, or, in fact, any kind of a relative whatsoever, unless she prevaricates." "Too bad," said Thaddeus. "I had a vague hope we could stock up on jewels of her kind. Where did you get her, anyhow Tiffany's?" "No. At an unintelligence office," said Bradley. "She was a last resort.

She could talk to Judge Tiffany or to any man of Judge Tiffany's age, but with her male contemporaries she felt always this same constraint. And this young man was looking on her insistently, as though demanding answers. "They say you're one of the smartest ranchers in these parts," he went on. "Do they?"
But with the morning light New York took on quite a different aspect. It proved to be not such a bad place after all. The solitary fact that it harbored Miss Cartright was quite enough to redeem it in their eyes. Then there was so much to see which was new and strange!
