In her surprise at Crystal's question, ‘Tony sat up in bed and stared down at her chum. “Of course I'll have to'marry Dick now, Crys! Didn't you understand that all slong? It was always a case of ‘either—or.’ I funked the ‘either,’ and of course it will have to be ‘or... You know I can't go back on my word, Crys.” “But, oh, Tony, you don’t want to marry him!” Crystal moaned. “I can’t bear to see you trapped like this, on a silly, quixotic point of honor. No one but a cad would be- heve as Dick Talbot has done! He knew he could make you believe you owed yourself to him, as a debt of honor.. He knew he was safe, agree- ing to that awful one-night business. He knew you couldn't go through with it, that you'd end up by marrying him instead—” “Isn't that just the point, Crystal?” Tony asked, with curious gentleness and patience, as if she were talking to achild. “He did know. He knew, because—well, I don't mean to sound high’ and mighty, honey—because he knew me, and I—can't change, just to get out of a nasty mess. I got myself into it.

She tried craftiness. “Do you think it will be fair to Dick to marry him, feeling as you do about marriage and about Dick personally?” Abruptly, Tony lay down again and locked her hands behind her head. Her voice was sombre and tired: “Not unfair, if he wants it. I've been honest with him, He knows I don't believe in marriage—for Tony Tarver. He knows I only love him in. one way —and that I'm not sure I even feel that way toward him any longer. But I think Dick also knows, Crys, that I'll play fair, that I'll make as good a marriage out of it as possible. Dick isn’t so bad, really, I know he’s weak and selfish and vain as a girl of his masculine beauty. I know he isn't blessed with a gigantic intellect, but neither am I. I know he'll never do any serious work, at least as long as the Talbot fortune lasts.

Long after the last saxophone has done its duty by jazz and just as the city’s rim is tinting with dawn the breakfast dance gets going in scores of little cellar places of the black belt.
