"Has my husband repudiated the acceptance?"
"Not yet, madam, simply because I have not presented the draft. I thought I would come to you first."
"Do you believe the draft a forgery?"
"In fact, madam, I have the most positive evidence in that direction."
The woman meditated a moment, and then said:
"This rash young man, can it be possible that in anticipation of remittances he has dared do this?"
"It so appears, madam."
"I must save him. If it is a forged note my husband must not know it. Yes, poor young man, how I pity him! and I must save him, and I will save him."
"That is good and kind of you, madam."
"Yes, I will save him; I will accept the draft myself."
