Holmes, after some slight demur, consented, and accordingly when they arrived at the summer hotel, Holmes registered himself as Sheridan, while the young millionaire assumed the name of his friend. It happened that men were very scarce at the hotel. As a result, the entire feminine contingent made a break for Sheridan and Holmes when they arrived, but when they learned that one of the young men was a millionaire, their interest in the real Sheridan quickly faded, and they devoted themselves entirely to Jim, the supposed Arnold Sheridan. That is to say, all of them but Jane Douglas. Jane had her own ideas about men. If she was sure about any one thing, it was that she did not intend to marry a man for his money. So she avoided the noisy group which buzzed about the supposed millionaire, and devoted herself to the poor friend because she liked him. Mrs. Douglas was greatly vexed at her daughter's preference for the supposedly penniless Holmes, and told her sharply that she should not waste her time with penniless vagabonds when she had a chance to catch the most desirable young man of the year. But Jane did not heed her experienced advice. That afternoon Sheridan proposed and she accepted him. After she had promised to marry him, Sheridan told her who he really was. Jane was a little bit hurt at first, but she decided that the fact that the man she loved was a millionaire really didn't make any lasting difference. But her feelings were as nothing compared with her mother's, and her mother's were as absolutely nothing compared to those of the gay crowd who had lavished their attentions on Holmes, on learning that quiet little Jane had actually landed the man for whom they had all been casting their nets.
