"Not at present, thank you!" Devereux laughed. "Meanwhile we have until to-morrow before the bounder arrives. I'm going to enjoy the time while it lasts—it is short enough as it is."
"How are you going to enjoy it?" asked Mrs. Burleston.
"Making love to you."
"Why should Mr. Porshinger's coming interfere with you making love to Helen?" Gladys inquired.
"'Oh, the fascinating widow!'" sang Devereux.
"Do be sensible, Dev," Mrs. Burleston exclaimed.
"Ask of him something possible!" Gladys laughed.
"Dear Lady, you speak with a cruel tongue——"
"But with a true tongue," she interjected.
