else about in this town."
I'VE will be perfectly happy, too,
Lloyd. don't care for riches, and l
don't care for society now We can

And after came much more talk of

However, late that night Lloyd Har-
vey left the house and faced the rough
blasts, firm in his conviction that he

Lloyd saw all this and was troubled.

might yearn for, and which re was
unable to give her after they were
married. He spoke of it one night to
her.
