witness-box, told the story Of their love
and quarrel with dramatic vividness.
She was twenty-eight, she said, and the
faithless Edwin twenty-five. Soon after
their first meeting, at the house of ''mu-
tual friend" he had written, asking to be
permitted to call her "my own" She an
swered discreetly that she would think Of
it. After that he had visited her at her
mothers and introduced her to his family.
