"She's gone," said Peg, quietly.
Jerry walked down to her.
"Are you still determined to go?" he asked.
"I am."
"And you'll leave here without a regret?"
"I didn't say that sure."
"We've been good friends, haven't we?"
"I thought we were," she answered gently. "But friendship must be honest. Why didn't ye tell me ye were a gentleman? Sure, how was I to know? 'Jerry' might mean anybody. Why didn't ye tell me ye had a title?"
"I did nothing to get it. Just inherited it," he said simply. Then he added: "I'd drop it altogether if I could."
"Would ye?" she asked curiously.
