The Maid of Honor

Excerpt from The Maid of Honor

Here was to be a wedding at old St. David's, I and I was to be the best man. The groom and I had been classmates in college, mem bers of the same fraternity, and roommates for the better part of four years. The day of graduation, which means separation, had come to us as it does to all college boys. We smoked our parting pipe in the fraternity lodge room, sang the song of The Girl I Left Behind Me, and turned our faces toward the future with the hope that destiny would bring to View the faces of other girls, of whom one for each of us would not be left behind.

Two men could not well have been more unlike than were Harry Sinclair and I. He was of less than medium height, with round, full face, and light-brown hair which was a fine setting for a florid complexion. His eyes and mouth betokened one who would take what came in daily life, but who would vastly prefer to choose for himself what daily life should bring. He was an easy-going, good-natured man who could be strong and stern when occasion arose. Of course, in college he was popular.
