"Then, tell the gentleman whether you will marry him or not."
"I don't want to marry any one at all," said Mary.
"You are not asked to marry any one, darling," said Mrs. Makebelieve, "but some one—this gentleman here whose name I don't happen to know. Do you know his name?"
"No," said Mary.
"My name...." began the policeman.
"It doesn't matter, Sir," said Mrs. Makebelieve. "Do you want to marry this gentleman, Mary?"
"No," whispered Mary.
"Are you in love with him?"
Mary turned completely away from him.
