Titania begged Gordon to tell her.
"But then he told me he had married Pen," she said to herself. "What is the use of asking any one anything?"
"How did you find him?" asked Bob.
"I looked him up," said Gordon.
"Why did you look him up?"
"Because I wanted to find him out," returned Gordon, sulkily. "But I didn't come to be cross-examined by you, Bob."
In spite of the large sums of money which Gordon owed Bob, Bob was on the point of an explosion. But trouble was averted by Plant's entrance. Before he could say a word, a telegram was brought to Titania, and she read it at once and uttered dismal groans.
"What is it?" chorused the two men and Bob.
"It's from Penelope."
"Please read it out."
