"It's a pity!" reflected Gladys thoughtfully.
Stephanie continued to toy with her braid and did not seem to hear.
"It's a pity," Gladys repeated.—"A grievous pity that you didn't marry Montague Pendleton—instead of Harry Lorraine."
"It's more than a pity—it's a calamity," replied Stephanie imperturbably.
"Why don't you marry him now?" Gladys demanded.
"Simply because it's contrary to the law of the land for a woman to have two husbands at the same time. Harry Lorraine happens still to be alive."
"Why don't you get a divorce?"
"I haven't any cause—and he hasn't any pluck."
"You can go to Reno," Gladys suggested.
"What will Reno accomplish—if he opposes it! Moreover, I don't want a Reno divorce. I should never feel that I was divorced."
