Her words let a tiny glimmer of light into my puzzled brain.
 II suppose she would like to part Dicky and me forever" I said, my voice trembling a little with the ex- element of the idea that was begin ming to creep through my brain.

Of course here are lots of references, too darnid many if any body should happen to ask you. If she hadn't been quite so generous with her references she might have got away with the trick. for awhile at least. Not for long, however, for of course, Dicky would have riddled it as soon as he caught sight of it.

 DO you think for one moment I would have believed such thing without giving him a chance to de- fend himself?" she retorted with 8 touch of Nehemence, conscious that touch of -yehemence.
