J^yce, as she opened her eyes on that memoraUIe morraiig, was equally
surprised at the w arm, flower-scented "air, at the luxurious-sleeping porch
where she lay and at the diamond circlet on her wedding finger.
Was she married? Was it summer? Surely the fruit-laden trees Shj
could see were not in Chicago—this silk-covered bed was not a hospital
cot. Yet—the last thing she remembered was a skidding taxicab on a sleet
ing November day in Chicago.
And when a man came and sat on her bed and kissed her goodbye for
'a hurried business trip, telling her to be "careful after her fall from her
horse the day before, her mystification was complete.
So she w’as married.
Later she discovered from her toilet articles, that her initials are
F. L. P. . . . and that the house she lived in was rich—and beautiful.
