"Your father is in trouble—financial trouble!" he said suddenly.
"How do you know?" she said amazed.
"Doris told me."
"Doris? When?" she said. She stiffened at the name, though he did not notice the action.
"The last time I saw her—why, Drina, didn't you know? Why she came down, why she saw me and asked to be released—didn't you know her reason?"
"I know nothing. Do you mean to say that she—" she paused as though overwhelmed at the thought, "that then she knew Dad was facing ruin?"
"Knew? Why, your father told her!— Doris and your mother! You didn't know?"
"No."
"You weren't told afterward?"
"No, no—not a word."
