"'The opportunity of seeing you again, that is all; you must acknowledge that I am very moderate in my demands. I do not brutally insist on my rights.' "'But why--why do you wish to see me again?' I asked. "'You are surprised that I should want to see my wife again? Really, you are so--so modern.' "'Don't talk nonsense,' I said (for all this fooling made me mad). 'What do you want? Tell me at once.' "'Really, my dear lady, since you are so insistent, I will be quite frank with you; I really don't know. I am enjoying this meeting extremely, and I think another may afford me equal pleasure.' "'You devil!' "'You never did appreciate me.

Smith--not an unusual name, is it? Not much of an improvement on Brown, eh? And your address?' "'The Waldorf,' I answered, naming the first place that came into my head. "'How convenient!

A moment later I was being driven rapidly up town. "'I don't live at the Waldorf,' I at last acknowledged, as we were nearing Thirty-third street. "'Of course not, and your name isn't Smith; I know that; but where shall I tell the coachman to drive to?' "There was no help for it; I had to give my real address. "'And now let us decide when I shall call on you. I don't mind selecting a time when my rival is out. You see, I am very accommodating--at present,' he added, significantly.
