"This is what we come to Monte Carlo for," he said.

"You've never answered my ques- tion--my great question," he went on tenderly. "I've been trying to," she managed 40 say. "And you don't find it easy?" She shook her head, letting her eyes fall again, "But you've been making the ef- fort?" "Yes," she murmured, just audibly. _ "And it's been a great effort?" "Yes." : "So great, In fact, that you don't feel the strength to make it?" "I'm trying to," she sald hurrledly. "I want to." "Yon want to? In what way?"
