Ernestine told Will everything, all that she had thought and felt, all that had happened the day before—Loring’'s talk with her, the murder car at Pastano's, her revulsion of feeling, how she had come home, and how, in the night, while she slept, everything had straightened out for her. Will lay beside her in silence, her hand in his, and again and again as she talked her fingers were pressed against his lips. They were back again in the cradle of love—rocked in magie which overcame all difficulties and healed all misunderstandings. He told her then about himself and about what he had been through. “I've made ten or different developments of Poole’s cartoon, alter- ing them all, and I've made each one up for about six weeks, and planned the continuity out beyond that time, but I can't sell them. When I sat down to write to you what was there to sav? I would resolve to try again, hoping to have some wonderful news for you.

Of course, it's quite respectable in Chicago to defend the most notorious criminal before the bar, but mamma doesn’t like this.
