 CHAPTER NNNNIl
 \ Troublesome Problem
 Lynda. I love you--loNe you 1T way that is great surprise to me Before this. I never knew what the word love meant
 Ralph Armitage raised his hand as she started 10 speak.
 No, no, don't say anything tc me I know that you do not love me now. and l know that if you spoke now you would say that l s.t offering you an insult. Darling, Tn not asking anything of you. l an only stating a fact, that it is more of surprise 10 me than N is to you I'm not asking you to love me. am only asking you to let me loN, you and to stay here, in m, employ. where l can see and tall to you every day
 Again the purple eyes were raised to his face, as Lynda Fenton asked herself If Ralph Armitage were tell ing the truth.
 Was this the way men of the world made love? She had no Wa, Of knowing. No man. except David had ever told her before that h. loved her. and Davie was as shy il his telling, as she had been il listening to it.
 A disturbing thought darted int her brain. Could any man speak hi love as beau fully as Ralph ha' done. unless he hal had mucl practicc2
 All at once she grew angry, tha Ralph could come directly from in phone. where h" had been tallliu to Pamilla Sheston. and in th same breath say to her so ardentl and earnestly that bc loved hei seemed a les"cratIOn of the WorG Her father was right This va loves market piece; this MS whor love WAS sold. and like all othc m"rchandlse, some offered some thing spurious in payment. an some sold something entirely dit ferent that magquorad"d under in same nam".
