CHAPTER XIX.
MR WHITTLESTAFF'S JOURNEY DISCUSSED.
"I don't think that if I were you I would go up to London, Mr Whittlestaff," said Mary. This was on the Tuesday morning.
"Why not?"
"I don't think I would."
"Why should you interfere?"
"I know I ought not to interfere."
"I don't think you ought. Especially as I have taken the trouble to conceal what I am going about."
"I can guess," said Mary.
"You ought not to guess in such a matter. You ought not to have it on your mind at all. I told you that I would not tell you. I shall go. That's all that I have got to say."
