An excerpt:
"You've worn better than I have," she observed at last, breaking the silence with a short laugh, "you must be--let me see--fifty. While I'm barely thirty-one--and I look forty--and the rest." Suddenly he reached out and gathered her thin, restless hands into his, holding them in a kind, firm clasp. "Oh, my dear!" he said sadly. "Is there nothing I can do?" "Yes," she answered steadily. "There is. And it's to ask you if you will do it that I sent for you. Do you suppose"--she swallowed, battling with the tremor in her voice--"that I wanted you to see me--as I am now? It was months--months before I could bring myself to send you the little pearl ring." He stooped and kissed one of the hands he held. "Dear, foolish woman! You would always be--just Pauline--to me." Her eyes softened suddenly. "So you never married, after all?" He straightened his shoulders, meeting her glance squarely--almost sternly. "Did you imagine that I should?" he asked quietly. "No, no, I suppose not." She looked away. "What a mess I made of things, didn't I? However, it's all past now; the game's nearly over, thank Heaven! Life, since that day"--the eyes of the man and woman met again in swift understanding--"has been one long hell." "He--the man you married--" "Made that hell. I left him after six years of it, taking the child with me." "The child?" A curious expression came into his eyes, resentful, yet tinged at the same time with an oddly tender interest. "Was there a child?"
