"I see. You suspected me when you had no cause. And when I gave you cause you suspected nothing. I must say you are a very extraordinary woman."
"I didn't know," she answered.
"Who told you? Or must I not ask that?"
"I cannot tell you. I would rather not. I was not told much. And there are some things that I have a right to know."
"Well—"
"Who is this woman?—the girl you've been living with?"
"I've no right to tell you—that. Why do you want to know? It's all over."
"I must know, Walter. I have a reason."
"Can you give me your reason?"
"Yes. I want to help her."
