"And you are thinking of marrying him?"
"Frankly, I am thinking of it."
"But you have not said Yes?"
"No. Next question, please?"
"You are sure that Tim cares for you?"
"Well," said Peggy cheerfully, "to judge by the way he went on upon the top step, I should call him a pretty severe case."
"But does he love you?" persisted Philip doggedly. "A woman is always supposed to know that."
"Yes, Philip," assented Peggy quietly; "she usually knows."
"Where is Tim all this time, by the way?"
"I left him at the ball. He was particularly anxious to have a farewell waltz with a certain girl. You see, he is by way of burning his boats to-night."
