They indulged in the extravagance of a taxi-cab for the home trip . Norma left Wolf still reading , after winning from him a kiss and a promise not to `` worry '' , and went to bed and to sleep . When she wakened , after some nine delicious hours , he was gone ; gone to Philadelphia , as it proved . Breakfasting at ten o'clock , in a flood of sweet winter sunshine , she put a brave face on the matter . She told herself that it was better that Wolf should know , and only the part of true kindness not to deny what , for good or ill , was true . The memory of his grave and troubled face distressed her , but she reminded herself that he would be back on Saturday , and then he would have forgiven her . She would see Chris to-day , to-morrow , and the day after , and by that time they would have said everything that there was to say , and they would never see each other again .
