He woke in the morning to a great self-loathing : he had kissed a girl . Mingled with the loathing was a curious pride in the very fact that caused the loathing , but the pride did not last long . He came downstairs morbid to breakfast , and continued this mood afterward . At noon Albert Paxton brought him a note which Milla had asked Sadie to ask Albert to give him . Dearie : I am just wondering if you thought as much about something so sweet that happened last night as I did you know what . I think it was the sweetest thing . I send you one with this note and I hope you will think it is a sweet one .
