"It's a bad break all right," Trevor replied when Dick had told him how Sheila had left the new show. "It doesn't mean that she wasn't a success, though. That little Tillie Lee who has the part now can't compare with Sheila. But Marion Randolph is bound to have her own way!

Shella straightened. Dick mustn't tell her now that he loved her. It wouldn't do. Both of them had so many other things to think about.

But did he really love her? Did she want him to tell her so even if it were true?

"I think we should turn back, Dick," she told him, withdrawing her hand. "It's getting late.”

"Just as you say." He did not raise his eyes,

Swiftly the car skimmed down the drive, crossed into the park at 130th street and picked up the winding road through the trees. They reached 45th street at 7 o'clock promptly.
