"Did you tell him that you loved him?"
"Yes."
"What did he do?"
"I don't know that you have any right to be so curious."
"Of course you need not answer if you don't wish. Did he kiss you?"
"Yes, he did, if you want to know. We had a tremendous scene. I went
into high tragics, and, I suppose, bored the poor man dreadfully."
"He was much more matter-of-fact, I suppose?"
"Yes--he was."
"Where did this scene take place?"
"In the drawing-room one afternoon when he had walked home with me from
a tea."
"What happened the next time you met him?"
"I never saw him again--that is, alone."
