“No, a friend of yours—someone who has your welfare deeply at heart—has offered to pay the indebtedness.”
Mrs. Myles arose and walked nervously across the kitchen.
“Charity,” she said in a bitter voice.
“No, one can’t call it by that name, Mrs. Myles. You need the money badly and it will save your home.”
“Who is the person that has made this kind offer?”
“I feel it would be better if the person remained anonymous.”
Mrs. Myles shook her head. “I can’t accept with out knowing.”
Miss Gordon glanced at the Brownies and drew a deep breath.
“You insist upon knowing, Mrs. Myles?”
“Yes.”
