How about the other letter?
Was it, perchance, from Madame Riennes ?" "It is not signed, but I think so." "Really.

It is odd, but, I too, have had a letter from Madame Riennes, also unsigned, and I think, after reading it, that you may safely show me yours, and then tell me the truth of all these accusations she makes concerning you and Juliette." Now Godfrey turned crimson.
"How can I ?" he murmured.

"For myself I do not care, but it seems like betraying--someone else." "It is difficult, my boy, to betray that which is already well known, to me, among others.

Had this letter, perchance, something to do with an expedition which you two young people made to search for flowers, and nothing else?
Ah! I see it is so.

Then you may safely show it to me, since I know all about that expedition." So Godfrey produced the epistle, for at the moment he forgot that it contained allusions to Madame also, and holding it gingerly between his thumb and finger, handed it to him.
