"But—but you said you had seen her here this morning!"
"Yes, I have."
"Did you speak to her before you met me?"
"No—not before I met you."
"Then you have not spoken to her. Is she still here in the Park?"
"Yes, she is still here."
The girl turned on him excitedly: "Do you mean to say that you will not speak to her?"
"I had rather not—"
"And your happiness depends on your speaking?"
"Yes."
