Frieda nodded pensively.

CHAPTER XIII
THE BREAK
BUT Frank did give careful consideration to what Frieda had said to him. Her words came as a kind of revelation. Suddenly he began to appreciate what it would mean to lose Jack, though of course there was no possibility of such a thing. She was one of the most loyal persons in the world and they had only had a difference of opinion.
Yet Frank decided that it would be best to let bygones be bygones and to mention the fact to Jack at the first possible opportunity.
But somehow he seemed to have to wait for the opportunity to arrive; certainly his wife did nothing to help him.
One night, coming home at the usual hour, Frank discovered that Jack was not there. She had gone out a little before lunch on some errand, as Olive and Frieda supposed, but leaving no word except that they were not to wait luncheon for her.
