They had been in bed some time when from Mary Lee came the question, "Do you ever hear from Rob Powell, Nan?"
"I haven't heard for some time," returned Nan.
"Does he know you are here?"
"I don't think so, unless Rita has told him."
"Who wrote last, you or Rob?"
"He did, I believe."
"Nan Corner, I believe you have turned him down, yet you used to like Rob."
"I liked him very much but I was never in love with him, if that is what you mean."
"You used to talk about him a lot."
"Probably because I wasn't in love with him."
