“Oh, I don’t know. Once in a while it doesn’t matter. And all the servants have gone away to Buyukderer.”
“Then you are going there?”
“I’m not sure if I shall be able to stay there for more than a few days if I do go.”
“Why not?” he said slowly.
“It’s just possible I may have to go over to England on business. Something’s gone wrong with my money matters, not the money my husband allows me, but my own money. I had a letter from my lawyer.”
“When?”
“To-day.”
He stood before her in silence.
“By the way,” she added, “I saw all those letters for you on the hall table. Why don’t you read them?”
“Going to England, are you?” he said, frowning.
