`` But Father disapproved . Stephen was poor then . And so -- and so -- I sent him away . What else could I do ? '' -- for Jerry had snorted -- `` Father had to be obeyed . But it broke my heart . Stephen went away -- he was very angry -- and I have never seen him since . When Susan Hubbard invited me to the party I felt as if I must go -- I must see Stephen once more . I never thought for a minute that he remembered me -- or cared still ... '' `` But he does ? '' said Jerry breathlessly . Jerry never scruples to ask anything right out that she wants to know . `` Yes , '' said Miss Ponsonby softly . `` Is n't it wonderful ? I could hardly believe it -- I am so changed . But he said tonight he had never thought of any other woman . He -- he came home to see me . But when I never went anywhere , even when I must know he was home , he thought I did n't want to see him . If I had n't gone tonight -- oh , I owe it all to you two dear girls ! '' `` When are you to be married ? '' demanded that terrible Jerry .
`` As soon as possible , '' said XXXXX Ponsonby .
