"There is some one who knows him better than you do."
"His father?"
"No."
"Reuther? Oh, she mustn't be told—"
"Yes, she must. She's our one adviser. Go for her—or send me."
"It won't be necessary. There's her ring at the gate. But oh, Mr. Black, think again before you trouble this fragile child of mine with doubts and questions which make her mother tremble."
