/ am sure I should have put the

the memory Of Dicky's rudeness OF
the day before and the morning had
not been fresh with me.
Why should you consider him -
my little devil again whispered.
Did you not only yesterday come
upon proof that his friendship with
the woman, whoever she NAV be.
who wrote that letter you found on
the hall floor, would bear Watching?
And now did he treat you when YOU
courteously asked him for an ex-
PLANTATION of the letter? Replied
with a word and slammed the door
in your face, didn't he? And be-
aus you resented it, he has gone 70

your crouch he would come home

Whats Sauce"
Il was all true. and the remem-
brance of it cut me anew. But I
recoiled from the idea of keeping

you to express your opinion about a
