He street, but the moment you GOT me----" "Alfred!" gasped Zoie.This was really going too far. "Yes, I repeat it!" shouted Alfred, pounding the table with his fist for emphasis."The moment you GOT me, you declared that all ren were horrid little insects, and that someone ought to sprinkle bug-powder on them." "Oh!" protested Zoie, shocked less by Alfred's interpretation of her sentiments, than by the vulgarity with which he expressed them. "On another occasion," declared Alfred, now carried away by the recital of his long pent up wrongs, "you told me that all babies should be put in cages, shipped West, and kept in pens until they got to be of an interesting age.'Interesting age!' " he repeated with a sneer, "meaning old enough to take YOU out to luncheon, I suppose." "I never said any such thing," objected Zoie. "Well, that was the idea," insisted Alfred."I haven't your glib way of expressing myself." "You manage to express yourself very well," retorted Zoie."When you have anything DISAGREEABLE to say.As for babies," she continued tentatively, "I think they are all very well in their PLACE, but they were NEVER meant for an APARTMENT." "I offered you a house in the country," shouted Alfred. "The country!" echoed Zoie."How could I live in the country, with people being murdered in their beds every night? Read the papers." "Always an excuse," sighed Alfred resignedly."There always HAS been and there always would be if I'd stay to listen.Well, for once," he declared, "I'm glad that we have no ren.If we had, I might feel some obligation to keep up this farce of a marriage.As it is," he continued, "YOU are free and _I_ am free."And with a courtly wave of his arm, he dismissed Zoie and the entire subject, and again he started in pursuit of Mary and his hat. "If it's your freedom you wish," pouted Zoie with an abused air, "you might have said so in the first place." Alfred stopped in sheer amazement at the cleverness with which the little minx turned his every statement against him. "It's not very manly of you," she continued, "to abuse me just because you've found someone whom you like better." "That's not true," protested Alfred hotly, "and you know it's not true."Little did he suspect the trap into which she was leading him. "Then you DON'T love anybody more than you do me?" she cried eagerly, and she gazed up at him with adoring eyes. "I didn't say any such thing," hedged Alfred. "Then you DO," she accused him. "I DON'T," he declared in self defence. With a cry of joy, she sprang into his arms, clasped her fingers tightly behind his neck, and rained impulsive kisses upon his unsuspecting face. For an instant, Alfred looked down at Zoie, undecided whether to strangle her or to return her embraces.As usual, his self-respect won the day for him and, with a determined effort, he lifted her high in the air, so that she lost her tenacious hold of him, and sat her down with a thud in the very same chair in which she had lately dropped his hat.Having acted with this admirable resolution, he strode majestically toward the inner hall, but before he could reach it, Zoie was again on her feet, in a last vain effort to conciliate him.Turning, Alfred caught sight of his poor battered hat.This was the final spur to action.Snatching it up with one hand, and throwing his latchkey on the table with the other, he made determinedly for the outer door. Screaming hysterically, Zoie caught him just as he reached the threshold and threw the whole weight of her body upon him. "Alfred," she pleaded, "if you REALLY love me, you CAN'T leave me like this!" Her emotion was now genuine.He looked down at her gravely-- then into the future. "There are other things more important than what YOU call 'love,' " he said, very solemnly. "There is such a thing as a soul, if you only knew it.And you have hurt mine through and through." "But how, Alfred, how?" asked the small person, and there was a frown of genuine perplexity on her tiny puckered brow."What have I REALLY DONE," She stroked his hand fondly; her baby eyes searched his face. "It isn't so much what people DO to us that counts," answered.
