"If you had only missed the ring, gossip, I should have thought nothing of it," pursued Will Sommers; "but you lost a golden opportunity of ingratiating yourself with your lady-love. All your hopes are now at an end. A word in your ear the Fair Geraldine will meet Surrey alone this evening." "Thou liest, knave!" cried the duke fiercely.
The two men bowed and edged their backs toward Sommers. He was already being forgotten. When the elevator cage discharged its load on the top floor, Rupert, who was popularly held to be a genial man, lingered behind his colleague, and tried to say something to the young doctor. "Private practice?" he asked sympathetically, "or will you try hospital work again?"
He saw the three stand and talk for perhaps two minutes; commonplace, early-acquaintance nothings, he judged from their faces and actions. He saw Helen May offer Holman Sommers the package she carried; saw Holman take it negligently and tuck it under his arm while he went on talking. He saw Helen May turn then and go around to the door, which was opened effusively by the plump sister whom he knew.

Sommers smiled at the penalty held out, but he did not protest. "There isn't any career in hospital work, anyway, for a steady thing. You get side-tracked." "I like it better than family practice," Sommers jerked out.

Holman Sommers sat facing him. He had been writing, and he still held his pencil in his hand. He slowly crumpled the sheet of paper, his vivid eyes lifted to Starr's face. Tragic eyes they were then, for beyond Starr they looked into the stern face of the government he would have defied.
My conscience has been seared with a hot iron a cold one, I mean. The effects are just the same." At the supper-room door they were met by Dr. Sommers, with a world of comical trouble in his face, and he drew Madge aside. "What's a man to do?" he began. "Here's our choir-leader sick, and the rest won't chirp without him. I can't sing any more than I can dance.
Did they pardon him? Did he " "Let me get down!" she cried. Mrs. Sommers flung away from the door. "Then go and marry your man-killer!" But Betty Neal was already clattering down the stairs. Half way to the bottom her strength and courage ebbed suddenly from her; she went on with short steps, and when at last she closed the parlor door behind her, she was staring as if she looked at a ghost.
