"I didn't mean anything," she said humbly. "Only there ain't many round here."
"You say your husband is religious. Does he go to church?"
"Yes," she answered soberly, and also with a kind of wonder at a man's accomplishing so dull an observance. "We go twice every Sunday, an' Sunday school an' evenin' meetin' besides."
"Do you like it?"
"No," she said, looking rueful, as if trusting he might forgive her. "I git sleepy."
At this Raven laughed and she glanced at him mildly, as if wandering what he had found to please him. He had been thinking.
"Now," he said, "we must plan what you're going to do. You won't let me send you and the baby away to stay awhile?"
She shook her head.
"Then what are we going to do? Can't you let me go to him and tell him, man to man, what an infernal fool he is?"
A wild alarm flew into her face.
