“I promise,” replied Clarendon,” provided that you really love me.”
“Always.”
The girl was smiling as they went down in the elevator. She seemed desirous of leaving her companion in a good mood.
“Since you will be busy,” she said, “I must find some other interest this evening. You are taking a cab?”
“Yes.”
“Suppose you drop me at the Alwyn Theater?”
They entered the taxi and stopped before the theater. Thelda blew a kiss to her companion as she alighted.
“Call me later, darling?” she questioned.
Clarendon was smiling as he nodded.
THE car rolled on as the girl entered the lobby. It entered a mass of evening traffic. The driver indulged in repartee with the man at the wheel of another cab. He did not hear the door of his vehicle as it opened and closed again.
