"
I
think
they
're
wonderful
.
Those
dark-greens
,
and
that
pale
,
fatty
white
!
I
can
see
how
beautiful
they
would
be
in
a
Chinese
setting
.
I
have
always
wished
we
could
find
a
Chinese
or
Japanese
play
to
produce
sometime
.
"
"
Yes
,
with
your
black
hair
those
ear-rings
would
look
well
,
"
said
Cowperwood
.
He
had
never
deigned
to
comment
on
a
feature
of
hers
before
.
She
turned
her
dark
,
brown-black
eyes
on
him
--
velvety
eyes
with
a
kind
of
black
glow
in
them
--
and
now
he
noticed
how
truly
fine
they
were
,
and
how
nice
were
her
hands
--
brown
almost
as
a
Malay
's
.

He
said
nothing
more
;
but
the
next
day
an
unlabeled
box
was
delivered
to
Stephanie
at
her
home
containing
a
pair
of
jade
ear-rings
,
a
bracelet
,
and
a
brooch
with
Chinese
characters
intagliated
.
Stephanie
was
beside
herself
with
delight
.
She
gathered
them
up
in
her
hands
and
kissed
them
,
fastening
the
ear-rings
in
her
ears
and
adjusting
the
bracelet
and
ring
.
Despite
her
experience
with
her
friends
and
relatives
,
her
stage
associates
,
and
her
paramours
,
she
was
still
a
little
unschooled
in
the
world
.
Her
heart
was
essentially
poetic
and
innocent
.
No
one
had
ever
given
her
much
of
anything
--
not
even
her
parents
.
Her
allowance
thus
far
in
life
had
been
a
pitiful
six
dollars
a
week
outside
of
her
clothing
.
As
she
surveyed
these
pretty
things
in
the
privacy
of
her
room
she
wondered
oddly
whether
Cowperwood
was
growing
to
like
her
.
Would
such
a
strong
,
hard
business
man
be
interested
in
her
?
She
had
heard
her
father
say
he
was
becoming
very
rich
.
Was
she
a
great
actress
,
as
some
said
she
was
,
and
would
strong
,
able
types
of
men
like
Cowperwood
take
to
her
--
eventually
?
She
had
heard
of
Rachel
,
of
Nell
Gwynne
,
of
the
divine
Sarah
and
her
loves
.
She
took
the
precious
gifts
and
locked
them
in
a
black-iron
box
which
was
sacred
to
her
trinkets
and
her
secrets
.
The
mere
acceptance
of
these
things
in
silence
was
sufficient
indication
to
Cowperwood
that
she
was
of
a
friendly
turn
of
mind
.
He
waited
patiently
until
one
day
a
letter
came
to
his
office
--
not
his
house
--
addressed
,
"
Frank
Algernon
Cowperwood
,
Personal
.
"
It
was
written
in
a
small
,
neat
,
careful
hand
,
almost
printed
.
I
do
n't
know
how
to
thank
you
for
your
wonderful
present
.
I
did
n't
mean
you
should
give
them
to
me
,
and
I
know
you
sent
them
.
I
shall
keep
them
with
pleasure
and
wear
them
with
delight
.

It
was
so
nice
of
you
to
do
this
.
STEPHANIE
PLATOW
.
Cowperwood
studied
the
handwriting
,
the
paper
,
the
phraseology
.
For
a
girl
of
only
a
little
over
twenty
this
was
wise
and
reserved
and
tactful
.
She
might
have
written
to
him
at
his
residence
.
He
gave
her
the
benefit
of
a
week
's
time
,
and
then
found
her
in
his
own
home
one
Sunday
afternoon
.
Aileen
had
gone
calling
,
and
Stephanie
was
pretending
to
await
her
return
.
