Bill chatting with Ella. Seems to have good feeling for her—devouring hot-cake she has made as he talks with Florence, who is sitting up. He takes out card, says:
Cut-in leader—
"THAT GUY YOU WAS WID—IS HE ON THE SQUARE?—HE AST ME TO CALL ON HIM—"
Florence suddenly recalls all that has happened. She turns her face away, unable to control tears of despondency.
141—Blinker's apartment.
Oldport goes. Blinker "chases" his man, sits in bad mood, sour and lovelorn by turns.
142—Ella's room.
Bill dismayed—demands what he has said. Florence sits up—controls herself. Says, gently:
Cut-in leader—
"HE—HE ISN'T GOING TO—SEE ME ANY MORE—I GUESS."
