"How funny of him not to say anything to me about it," said Nora, frowning once more.
"I suppose he wanted to surprise you. And now for yourself; how do you like being a married woman?"
"Oh, all right. But you haven't answered half my questions yet. Why has Reggie Hornby come with you?"
"Do you realize I've not seen you since before you were married?"
"That's so; you haven't, have you?"
"I've been a bit anxious about you. That's why, when Frank wrote about the clearing-machine, I didn't stop to think about it, but just came."
"It was awfully nice of you. But why has Reggie Hornby come?"
"Oh, he's going back to England."
"Is he?"
"Yes, he got them to send his passage money at last. His ship doesn't sail till next week, and he said he might just as well stop over here and say good-by to you."
