wanton creature and I never wanted to see her again. And for reasons that Donald has never been able to explain, he decided he, too, had had enough. So he, also, wrote and told her he didn't want to see her anymore, which of course caused her to have an immediate nervous breakdown. She came back to New York to reclaim her lost property and neither of us would see her.

I'll never forget her father coming into my office and saying, “Now, one of you two is going to make up with my daughter before this night is over because she's driving me crazy. Now choose, and I don't want to be bothered anymore.”

Well, Donald, of course, was the one who broke down.

Did he marry her?

He married her. This was in her senior year at Vassar. I remember for about a week, I thought I had thrown my great love away. I was the best man. They were married at an outdoor wedding at a country club in New Jersey. Of course everybody was watching with bated breath because they thought that at the last minute she might turn the wrong way.

Now, if you think that Marion had given me up because she was engaged to Donald, you are wrong. Since Donald had deceived me, I didn't see any reason why I shouldn't deceive him. We now laugh at it because he's long since divorced her and has been married happily for many many years to another girl. But I remember up to the very end, the whole thing could have been reopened at the drop of a hat, because she loved us both. She couldn't give up either of us. She wanted us both.
