Take this very afternoon just passed. It meant little, of course, either
to him or to the pretty little pathetic reporter girl, but it had
injected a bit of pleasure into her routine, and given him an insight
into another kind of maiden from the well-kept, sheltered women he knew
best. Such things help a man's larger sympathies. He was glad that he
could enjoy many types of men and women.
A rumble of wheels outside brought him out of this particular by-path
into the highway.
"What a dispensation that the mater didn't come home in the middle of
it!" he said with a sigh of satisfaction.
