MRS. CLOUSTON
I wonder she wasn’t ashamed.
MRS. DE MULLIN
So Hugo said. However, he said I might send them. But he made me send a letter with the things to say that he would have nothing more to do with her and that she was not to write again. For a time she didn’t write. Nearly five months. Then, when her baby was born, she wrote to tell me. That was how I knew she had taken the name of Seagrave. She mentioned it.
MRS. CLOUSTON
Did you show the letter to Hugo?
MRS. DE MULLIN
Yes.
MRS. CLOUSTON
What did he say?
