Andrew's voice was full of sympathy, and Elsie gave him a quick glance.
"You must know the truth, Andrew," she said impulsively. "At first I did feel miserably guilty for having sent Dick on a dangerous errand when I knew he was ill – "
"Dick went because he wanted to go," Andrew interrupted. "He never shirked a risk, and least of all when he could help his friends."
"But if I had loved Dick in the way you seem to think I loved him – perhaps I would not have been brave enough to let him go – I can't be sure."
"You didn't love him in that way?"
Elsie looked down at the book which lay in her lap. Her face was flooded with color, but a smile played about her lips.
"I would never have married Dick," she said, in a voice so low that Andrew had to lean toward her to catch her words.
"There was some one else?" he asked tensely.
She looked up at him then, and he gasped at the deepening glow in her eyes.
"What a stupid thing you are, Andrew! You ought to – "
He waited.
"Elsie – "
His voice was a mingling of incredulity and joy; and she answered his unspoken question with a shy smile.
"Of course – dear!"
