"I'm not a cad, Andy."
"Leave this thing here for a day or two, Jim," Law raised the picture and carried it to the window. "I never saw such live light," he said. "Where did you get it."
"I—I was lying under the Palisades one night and just at daybreak I saw it. It's a home product, though it looks Oriental, doesn't it?"
"Yes, it does."
There was silence for a few moments, then Norval asked in quite his natural manner, "And you won't come away for a clip, Andy?"
"Not until autumn, Jim, then I'm going to run up into Canada."
"All right. Having got the—the live light out of my system, and if you won't play with me, I'm going to coax Katherine to take me to any summer orgy she wants to. I owe it to her, she hasn't had a good dance for ages."
"Jim, you're a fool or——"
"A modest reflection of yourself, Testy."
But something snapped that summer which sent the Norvals and Anderson Law whirling in widely different directions. In the upheaval Donelle and her small affairs were forgotten.
