Except that I have seen signs which make me believe that what I figured would happen to Maggie Carlisle have begun to happen to her." "Bunk!" snorted Gavegan.
"I know that part of what he says is true," put in Hunt.
Miss Sherwood ignored Hunt and his remark.

The look of controlled wrath which she held upon Larry did not change.

Larry recognized that his statement had sounded most implausible.

Miss Sherwood in her indignation considered only that her kindness had been betrayed, her hospitality outraged, and that those she had accepted as friends had sought to trick her family in the worst way she could conceive; and she spoke accordingly.
"If that is the best Mr.Brainard has to say for himself, Mr.Gavegan, you may take him with you, and without any interference from me.

I ask only that you take him out of the house at once." With that she moved from the room, not looking again at either Hunt or Larry.
