Legally speaking, as well as morally speaking, it absolutely vindicates your husband's innocence. Keep this information to yourself for the present. Preserve the position which you have so sensibly adopted toward Eustace until you have read the restored letter. How he is to be kept in ignorance of what we have discovered is another question, the discussion of which must be deferred until we can consult together. What I suffered, what Eustace thought of me, does not matter.
Nothing matters now but the facts.
In less than a fortnight more the task of restoring the letter was completed. Before you, too, read that dreadful letter, do me one favor. Let me briefly remind you of the circumstances under which Eustace Macallan married his first wife. Remember that the poor creature fell in love with him without awakening any corresponding affection on his side. Remember that he separated himself from her, and did all he could to avoid her, when he found this out.
