 You mustn't mind what mother gays," Nolan said to Brand. She's been kind O lonely since she came back to New York"
 The editors heart swelled with sym pathy for the woman whose ambitions for herself and her daughter had caused the bitterest pain that injured pride can give. He saw that it would be difficult for her to learn that social position in a big city can be won only by sklllful maneuyer!ng, the ability to do which Mrs. Nolan apparently did not possess.
 "Oh. | understand" be answered feelingIy.
 Brand and Nolan went into the h- brary to smoke.
