I would like to know if the Union depot is on this street.” She said that it was not, and he thanked her and walked on thinking how lucky he was to escape so easily. He almost felt that society was too much for him, but nevertheless that he would try it for a little longer. Later during the day he came to a theatre and walked in. He immediately saw Miss Susanna Katrina and brave¬ ly went over to her, intending to sit near there. But, as he approached her his heart failed him and he said to her, “Have you seen Mr. DeVere around here?” She said she had not, so he went on pretending to search for him. He left the theatre and went to DeVere’s office, and af¬ ter he had explained his failure he was told to telephone Miss Susanna Katrina. He thought this would be easy, so he called for 1643 and when Miss Susanna Katrina an¬ swered he was very excited and not know what to say. However he managed to say “Wrong number.” DeVere encouraged Ephriam and told him what to say, and the next time he succeeded in making the “date.” About three months later a friend of Ephriam said to him, “I heard you was to be married, Eph.” “Yes,” said Ephriam, “its a good thing women can talk.” He now lives happily with his wife, but he never men¬ tions society.
