“No, you won’t!” said Tommy. “I sent them a telegram this morning to say that we were married. I thought we would really be by the time they got the message.”
She looked at him in silence.
“Well!” she said at last. “You are a fool!”
“I suppose I am,” he replied bitterly. “However, it’s done now. They know you’re here with me, and they think you’re my wife, so you’ll have to see it through.”
“Not I!” she said cheerfully. “I’m not going to marry a kid like you!”
“For God’s sake, why did you come away with me?” he cried.
She smiled.
“I guess I liked you,” she said.
“Don’t you like me now?”
“Don’t be silly!” she said. “Of course I do; but I think we’re too young to think of marriage. It was a mistake.”
