looked like her father. She had large features, although she was a slender girl. She was very handsome when those features were cast in feminine form. She was in some convent school.

She got through school, came to Albany and went out in good society and was very popular. She had learned to do everything that should be done. Very shortly she and John Warner fell in love with each other. The question of their marriage arose. John Warner was, of course, one of the first families and the Smiths were not. John Warner was a Protestant and the Smiths were devout Roman Catholics. The idea of a marriage with a Protestant was unthinkable to the Smiths. It was one of the things you can't even think about. Al would feel very sensitive about it.

At any rate, the thing dragged along a little while - not too long. Al had many talks with Warner. The upshot of it was that Warner said, well, he'd be a convert. He'd be delighted to be converted to the Roman faith. It was nothing to him. He'd be glad to. So he was put under instruction and became a convert, much to the astonishment of his family, his friends and all sorts of people who knew him. He took it all very gaily, very jolly and said he was a true convert. Sure, he wanted to marry Emily, but he was a true convert too. He never made any pretense that he wasn't.
