“Did you give her any reason for doing that?”
“Of course I gave her a reason.”
“Well, just give it to us, too, will you?”
“I told her that he was making a fool of himself with Mimi.”
“Nothing more specific than that?”
“Well, I told her that they were meeting each other secretly.”
“Where?”
“At the gardener’s cottage at Orchards.” Those who were near enough could see the little beads of sweat on Mr. Farwell’s forehead.
“How did you know that?”
“Orsini told me.”
