1t simply never entered his head. It was

He didn't sleep q wink that night, and all
the next day his mind was not concerned
with mathematics. While he couldn't, for
the life of him. see how he had compromised
her. still he knew enough about small town
gossip to appreciate its horrors. So he made
up his mind to play fair with the innocent
lady; he would change boarding places and
thus put stop to all tho But when he
proposed that same evening to make this
gentlemanly sacrifice he discovered. to his
disnay. that 1t was not her idea Of what a
gentleman should do in the circumstances.
