“May I take it that when you wrote that letter you were passionately in love with Miss Leighton, as the lady in question was then, and that you were furious because you thought Guy Markenmore had wrecked your chance of winning her?”
“You may. That is the fact.”
“Finding that you had no chance with the lady you went abroad?”
“Yes—cleared out altogether.”
“Did you get over your trouble? You know what I mean.”
“I certainly got cured of my infatuation for Miss Leighton. I can truthfully say that I was quite heart-whole again within a couple of years.”
“Cured?”
“Absolutely.”
