He did not look at her now, but kept his eyes away nervously. A sob caught Grace’s throat, for what she feared was true.
“I suppose you’re gone on somebody else.”
“That’s no business of yours, is it?”
“Oh, you cad! I wonder how I could ever have been such a fool as to care for you.”
He gave a short, dry laugh, but did not answer. She went up to him quickly and took hold of his arms.
“You’re hiding something from me, Reggie. For God’s sake, tell me the whole truth now!”
He turned his eyes to her slowly, that sulky look of anger on his face which she knew so well.
“Well, if you want to know, I’m going to be married.”
“What?” For a moment she could not believe him. “Your mother never said a word about it.”
He laughed.
