He
was
silent
for
a
moment
or
so,
thinking.
"I
do
think,
Jamison,"
he
said
presently,
"we
did
a
pretty
good
job."
Jamison
grunted.
"If--if
it's
really
over,"
said
Paula
hopefully,
"Charles--"
"What?"
"You--will
be
able
to
think
about
me
sometimes,"
asked
Paula
wistfully,
"instead
of
about
The
Master
always?"
Bell
stared
down
at
her.
"Good
Lord!"
he
groaned.
"I
have
been
a
brute,
Paula!
But
I've
been
loving
you--"
He
stopped,
and
then
said
with
the
elaborate
politeness
and
something
of
the
customary
idiotic
air
of
a
man
making
such
an
announcement.
"I
say,
Jamison,
did
you
know
Paula
and
I
were
to
be
married?"
Jamison
snorted.
Then
he
said
placidly:
"No.
Of
course
not.
I
never
dreamed
of
such
a
thing.
When
did
this
remarkably
original
idea
occur
to
you?"
He
puffed
a
huge
cloud
of
smoke
from
his
cigar.
It
was
an
unusually
vile
cigar.
Bell
scowled
at
him
helplessly
for
a
moment
and
then
said
wrathfully:
"Oh,
go
to
hell!"
And
he
bent
over
and
kissed
Paula.
(The
End.)
