He rose, and left her.
Until his slim loafing figure and
his dark symmetrical head had
vanished into the foyer beyond,
Dolly watched him: and there was
new light In her eyes: soft
sweet light that had not used to
be there for Jerry. You would
have said, observing her, that she
was in love with him. Or falling
in love.
You would have been only half
right. Dolly Quinn was falling
in love with her vision Of the
Jerry that might be. A sober
Jerry. A Jerry made strong. A
Jerry with all Jerry's charm but
without his defects. SO
clear was the vision that often it
became more real to her than the
man, and she thought, "I love
him." when she meant, "I could
live him, If he were thus. or SO. ;"
She thought now, II love him."
And when. after minute. he
strolled back into the room, she
thought 1t again, with a sudden
curious quickening OF the pulses.
The sight of him, after even the
briefest absence, affected her that
way--lately. ever SINCE" her
frank mind flashed at her, "you

She asked herself for the hum

for Jerry was physical, primarily;
and for the hundredth time she
assured herself with emphasis
that it was not. The physical
element entered in, OF course.
No denying that. But there were
other elements, even (she was
sure Of it, stronger. The
maternal element, for one. She
wanted to mother Jerry. She
wanted to protect and scold and
help and fuss over him. More
often than she wanted to be
taken in his arms, she yearned
to take him in hers, ~and caress
