 He did not let her finish the sen tence. He had been watching for some time the nervous manner in which she continually arranged the folds of her shawl so that they coy cred her left cheek and a sense of sus- c.cion had been growing up within him. He put forth his hand suddenly and pulled the shawl aside
 Good God.- he said. with a fierce putburst of mingled rage and horror. "The brute has struck you-struck you, And you can even think of re- maining with him after thatz-
