“It is true, Audrey.”
“Who told you this?”
“Miss Henderson.”
“Does Miss Henderson believe that Evelyn is guilty?”
“Yes; and so do I.”
“Mother, mother, what will happen?”
“Who knows? But Miss Henderson is determined—and, yes, my dear, I must say I agree with her—she is determined to expose Evelyn; she said she would give her a week in which to repent.”
“And that week will be up the day after to-morrow,” said Audrey.
“Yes, Audrey—yes; there is only to-morrow left.”
