Madge knew an almost uncon.

so subtle was the flattery implied.

she asked reasonably enough.
Because, little lawyer, to paint

Of necessity improve that techni'

"Never break your word to me"

Madge felt certain that apart
from mere thrills, Carroll was
capable Of an infinite tenderness.
She felt that he was fine and
brave and chivalrous--the type of
man for whom she had been sub
consciously searching. That he
was a devil in his way, that her
beauty attracted him, only added
to his charm, and besides and be-
yond all this, was he not the
most thrilling person Madge had

Carroll greeted Madge eagerly
