'That afternoon I asked him about it.
'"Ida," he said, (of course, I used my real name there) "It was before I knew you, and I never met her. It was different from my love to you."
'"Was she beautiful?" I asked.
'"She was very beautiful," replied Arthur.
'"Did you see her often?"
'"About ten times." he said.
'"And this memento - did she send it to you?"
'"It came to me from her," he said.
'"Why did you never meet her?" I asked.
'"She was far above me." he answered. "But, Ida, it's finished. You're not angry, are you?"
'"Why, no. I love you ten times than before."
