the side-piece from biting into your ears — that’s Raymond’s.

Knowing, as we do, that Raymond’s wife is named Cora we know that the Calhoun girl of the fresh clear skin, the tailored white shirtwaists, and the friendly interest in the Invention, lost out. The reason for that was Raymond’s youth, and Raymond’s vanity, and Raymond’s unsophistication, together with Lucy Calhoun’s own honesty and efficiency. These last qualities would handicap any girl in love, no matter how clear her skin or white her shirtwaist.

Of course, when Raymond talked to her about the Invention she should have looked adoringly into his eyes and said, “How perfectlywonderful! I don’t see how you think of such things.”
