"But how did you come into this work?"
"It was logical enough. I graduated into it out of an East Side settlement, but I went into _that_ because it was all I could get to do.

She sketched for him what her life had been here in ruined and desolate towns, and made him see vividly the picture of the reclamation work. She had been in places where the war tide had flowed near and spoke shudderingly of the stark things which a generous world had been slow to believe, and at the end he told her of McCalloway's death, but not of his true ident.i.ty, for that one secret he might not share with her.
