CHAPTER III
22/26

She's found _me_ out.
She's found everything out." "Found out?
But how ?" "It doesn't matter how.

Edie, why didn't you tell her?
You said you would." "Yes--I said I would." "And you told me you had." "No.

I didn't tell you I had." "What did you tell me, then ?" "I told you there was nothing to be afraid of, that it was all right." "And of course I thought you'd told her."

"I knew that--she as good as told me so--and I knew _her_." "Well--what if she hadn't married me ?" "That would have been very bad for both of you.

Especially for you." "For me?
And how do you know this isn't going to be worse?
For both of us.
