If Y had occurred to me 10 want have tried II, but I doubt 1t" she added honestly.

 She nodded and smiled at hlm nistfully, T want you 10 see it my way 90 you won't doubt me, :" she sad softly
 Doubt you, said l didn't know enough about love"
 Virginia, forgive me I know II isn't selfish love that's greatest, and uas. am. selfish, for I want you to throw all your own wishes into 'he discard for me. But I'm ] trying to see if as you do. and it can't ,t's because I love you with every breath I draw I'd rather have you feel that Virginia replied; hut If I dent love you so violently. " nov because I don't love you ss much as you do me, Mel I think ro- men can love ,n more ways than one at the same time" she added enlgm stlcaNy.
 Nathaniel thought she meant that love of her fathers memory stood abreast with her love for him and he told himself he'd be d cad 10 object 10 that. Virginia really was thinking of love that can sacrifice everything for one thing alone-honor.

 Virginia started 70 ask 7hy he didn't uee another model but checked herself abruptly. Hon. estv compelled her to admit to herself that it wasn't Nlels h"sf interest that had prompted the question so much as wish Of her own that he replace thiri. And she vas determined not 10 let her ridiculous feeling toward Miss Non1 color her remarks.
 Perhaps Mel might discover ho" she felt, and even though he laughed at her, as Virginia kne" he ou5. shed he terribly huull- iatrd. She felt humiliated enough as il was to have 10 acknou ledge 10 hcrsHH that t,hlri disturbed her, but she couldn't help how she felt. T can help making an open fool Of myself. though, she warned herself silently.
 'I suppose you m list finish "lth her" she said conyersa'ionally.
 "Yos, I'd rather soon reach the -tage where I won't need 2 model 10 finish the things"
