"Do you know for whom this missive was intended?"
Therese hesitated. The question was repeated.
"I do, Mother," she said.
"Do you know by whom it was written?"
Taking the letter in her hand she said, slowly:
"I do, Mother."
"Then, Therese, I must demand the names of both the sender and the intended recipient."
"Who wrote that letter?"
"I shall not tell," she said, slowly and with great determination.
"I shall give you five minutes to answer my question, Therese, and if you stubbornly persist in concealing these facts from me I shall declare you expelled."
