"I want to know exactly what happened," she begged. "I have no one else who can tell me."
"Your husband says that nothing actually happened," replied Reggie brutally.
The girl realised that this statement was far from being the vindication of Geoffrey which she had begun to hope for.
"But what did you actually see?" she asked.
"I saw Miss Smith with your husband. As it was in my house, they might have asked my leave first."
Asako shivered.
"But do you think Geoffrey had been—love-making to Miss Smith?"
"I don't know," said Reggie wearily. "From what I heard, I think Miss Smith was doing most of the love-making to Geoffrey; but he did not seem to object to the process."
Asako's yearnings for proof of her husband's innocence were crushed.
"What shall I do?" she pleaded.
