"We must begin your art education, Jane."
The day of the reception, Jerry took luncheon at the Morton house, and spent the early afternoon directing the proper placing for the portrait. He called Jane on the 'phone, explaining that he would not have time to come to the studio for her, and asking her to meet him at the tea.
Unfortunately for Jerry's plans, just as Jane had completed her costume for this most distasteful party, Martin Christiansen arrived, and in the joy of seeing him, she forgot everything else.
"It is good to see you," she said.
"And you. But you are very gorgeous," he added, with the tribute of his eyes. "How does life run these days, Jane Judd?"
"Full to the very banks. I'm at work again."
"Good. But not here?"
"No. I kept the old room at Mrs. Biggs's. I go every morning while Jerry is at work."
"He asks no questions?"
"None so far."
