"It must have taken all your money."
"You are very kind to take so much interest in me. It may relieve your mind to see this."
Dan took a roll of bills from his pocket, and displayed them to the astonished Tom.
"I don't see where you got so much money," said Tom, mystified.
"I've got more in the bank," said Dan. "I mention it to you that you needn't feel bad about my extravagance in buying a party suit."
"I wouldn't have come to this party if I had been you," said Tom, changing his tone.
"Why not?"
"You'll be so awkward, you know. You don't know any one except Miss Rogers, who, of course, invited you out of pity, not expecting you would accept."
"Did she tell you so?" asked Dan, smiling.
"No, but it stands to reason."
