Excerpt: ... sinned against God and his better self, and had begun his eternal life on earth. It was too late ever to turn back. All Hope abandon, ye who enter here. He had read it and defied it. He had entered knowing what he was about, and thinking, poor fool that he was, that he was doing a wise and noble thing for the sake of another. Over in the little parsonage, the white souled girl was walking in an earthly heaven. Ah! There was nothing, nothing they had in common now any more. She lived in the City of Hope and he in the City of Fire. He flung out the book from him and dropped his face into his hands crying softly under his breath, Oh, Lynn, Lynn-Marilyn! XV For one instant Lynn stood against the closed door, flaming with anger, her eyes flashing fire as they well knew how to flash at times. Then suddenly her lips set close in a fine control the fire died out of her eyes, she drew a deep breath, and a quick whimsical smile lighted up her face, which nevertheless did not look in the least like one subdued: You know I could get very angry at that if I chose and we''d have all kinds of a disagreeable time, but I think it would be a little pleasanter for us both if you would cut that out, don''t you? She said it in a cool little voice that sounded like one in entire command of the situation, and Opal turned around and stared at her admiringly. Then she laughed one of her wild silvery laughs that made them say she had a lute-like voice, and sauntered over toward her hostess: You certainly are a queer girl! she commented, I suppose it would be better to be friends, inasmuch as we''re to be roommates. Will you smoke with me? and out from the depths of a beaded affair that was a part of her frock and yet looked more like a bag than a pocket, she drew forth a gold cigarette case and held it out. Marilyn controlled the growing contempt in her face and answered with spirit: No, I don''t smoke. And you won''t smoke either-not in here! I''m sorry to seem...
