"Gone?" I repeated. "Where!"
"I don't know where. I don't know when she went. I don't know even why."
"Do you fear she has met with an accident, then?"
"Oh, no, not that. Worse than that!" She spoke helplessly.
"Worse?" I could not understand.
"I mean I think I must have driven her away."
I still could not guess. "Why, how could you have done that? You mean that she took offense at something, perhaps?"
"Oh, I must have made it impossible for her to stay."
