Come
,
Stephanie
!
Stand
by
me
and
look
at
me
.
You
are
so
tall
and
slender
and
graceful
.
You
are
like
something
out
of
Asia
.

She
sighed
,
turning
in
a
sinuous
way
,
as
he
slipped
his
arm
her
.
"
I
do
n't
think
we
should
,
should
we
?
"
she
asked
,
naively
,
after
a
moment
,
pulling
away
from
him
.
"
Stephanie
!

"
I
think
I
'd
better
go
,
now
,
please
.

It
was
during
the
earlier
phases
of
his
connection
with
Chicago
street-railways
that
Cowperwood
,
ardently
interesting
himself
in
Stephanie
Platow
,
developed
as
serious
a
sex
affair
as
any
that
had
yet
held
him
.
At
once
,
after
a
few
secret
interviews
with
her
,
he
adopted
his
favorite
ruse
in
such
matters
and
established
bachelor
quarters
in
the
down-town
section
as
a
convenient
meeting-ground
.
Several
conversations
with
Stephanie
were
not
quite
as
illuminating
as
they
might
have
been
,
for
,
wonderful
as
she
was
--
a
kind
of
artistic
godsend
in
this
dull
Western
atmosphere
--
she
was
also
enigmatic
and
elusive
,
very
.
He
learned
speedily
,
in
talking
with
her
on
several
days
when
they
met
for
lunch
,
of
her
dramatic
ambitions
,
and
of
the
seeming
spiritual
and
artistic
support
she
required
from
some
one
who
would
have
faith
in
her
and
inspire
her
by
his
or
her
confidence
.
He
learned
all
about
the
Garrick
Players
,
her
home
intimacies
and
friends
,
the
growing
quarrels
in
the
dramatic
organization
.
He
asked
her
,
as
they
sat
in
a
favorite
and
inconspicuous
resort
of
his
finding
,
during
one
of
those
moments
when
blood
and
not
intellect
was
ruling
between
them
,
whether
she
had

"
Once
,
"
she
naively
admitted
.
It
was
a
great
shock
to
Cowperwood
.
He
had
fancied
her
refreshingly
innocent
.
But
she
explained
it
was
all
so
accidental
,
so
unintentional
on
her
part
,
very
.
She
described
it
all
so
gravely
,
soulfully
,
pathetically
,
with
such
a
brooding
,
contemplative
backward
searching
of
the
mind
,
that
he
was
astonished
and
in
a
way
touched
.
What
a
pity
!
It
was
Gardner
Knowles
who
had
done
this
,
she
admitted
.
But
he
was
not
very
much
to
blame
,
either
.
It
just
happened
.
She
had
tried
to
protest
,
but
--
Was
n't
she
angry
?
Yes
,
but
then
she
was
sorry
to
do
anything
to
hurt
Gardner
Knowles
.
He
was
such
a
charming
boy
,
and
he
had
such
a
lovely
mother
and
sister
,
and
the
like
.
