"Poor darling! Do you think Dee will want to see me?"
"Yes. I'm sure she will. Perhaps not to-day."
"Has this really turned her to James again, Pat?"
"Has it made her really love him, you mean? How could she? Women aren't that way. But all she can think of now is her remorse."
He paced along beside her in deep thought for a time before he said: "Was there any other reason for her leaving him?"
"The other man?" She gave him a quick look. "I suppose that had something to do with it. Cary, was it a rotten trick for Dee to marry Jimmie?"
"I'm afraid it was, rather. Poor child! She's paying for it."
"Do women always pay for it?"
"No. Sometimes the men do."
"You know Dee's man, don't you?"
