that this was the moment to tell him
that she was not “Min Gordon." but

how she couldn’t bring herself to do
it. -
"After all it's none of his busi-

. , . And yet. it was his business!
To work for a men under your
maiden name was one thing. To
have him come as n caller . . . an
admirer . . . thinking that you
were unmarried. was quite another.
