“Perhaps she will tell you some day. If you care for her, you must believe in her and trust her. If you cannot trust her now, it will be a good thing for her to break with you right here.”
Somehow those words seemed to take the excitement out of the stage-manager. He looked at Frank, and then his eyes wandered to the face of the girl.
“You must believe him, Ross,” she said. “He is right. If you can’t trust me now, you never will, and we shall be miserable, instead of happy.”
“He knows——”
“Everything. I have told him.”
“Why did you do it?”
“Because I had to tell somebody! You are a man, and you can keep still, but a woman just has to talk.”
“I guess that’s right.”
“He is ready to help us, instead of trying to make trouble between us.”
“That’s right,” nodded Frank.
