I am sorry, but "— “Oh, don’t reject me!” cried Rose, the light of a noble determination illuminating her face. “I am young, very young, yet, and I will strive to come up to your standard. Already I have practically arranged for my fifth marriage. More will follow. Oh, just try me!” “1 will, my child,” said the manager, un- able to repress a tear. “I see you have the will to succeed, and something tells me that you will not be a slow coach.
