Mrs. Everitt
Yes. Why?
Everitt
Because, you poor child, that letter was written to him.
Mrs. Everitt
To him!
Everitt
Yes, Charlie Fisher. I found that he was going with Annie Pratt and I had it out with him one day in the barn. I told him if he didn't quit his foolishness I'd tell his people. We nearly came to blows—he was drinking too much, too—and I found that letter on the floor afterwards. I meant to burn it up, but I forgot it. And you thought I was the Charlie!
Mrs. Everitt
God forgive me!
