I have forgotten it," replies she, smiling happily, the color coming back to her cheeks. Whereupon Paul Rodney's brows contract, and with a muttered curse he turns aside and leaves the room, and then the house, without another word or backward glance. He drops his eyes, and the low, sneering laugh she has learned to know and to hate so much comes again to his lips.
