“Jimmy Driscoll. She was going with him before she married Walter.”
“And Driscoll’s still in love with her?” Mason asked.
She shook her head emphatically and said, “No. Jimmy’s in love with me.”
“Then why should your sister’s husband—”
“Well, Jimmy wrote her a letter, as a friend.”
“What sort of a letter?”
“Rosalind started it. She wrote to Jimmy and told him she was unhappy, and Jimmy wrote to her, just as a friend, and advised her to break away from Walter. He said Walter had only married her for her money, and that marriage was just like a financial investment, your first loss was your best loss. You see,” she went on with a nervous laugh, “Jimmy’s in the brokerage business and handled Rosalind’s investments for her before her marriage, so she’d understand what he meant by that sort of talk.”
“He didn’t handle her investments after marriage?”
“No.”
“And Walter Prescott got this letter Driscoll wrote?”
