Her calm, radiant face struck me to the hearts

at least one man had been true to me. and was
that Lisbeth never guessed at the truth. She
rarely spoke to me of my husband-never of
Ralph Gwynine- an; yet was always conscious

nothing else on earth could have controlled me.
And so the days drifted by and strOlled upon
