Where
is
your
mistress
?
"
I
asked
.
362
"
'
I
think
that
she
has
gone
out
for
a
walk
,
"
she
answered
.
363
"
My
mind
was
instantly
filled
with
suspicion
.
I
rushed
upstairs
to
make
sure
that
she
was
not
in
the
house
.
As
I
did
so
I
happened
to
glance
out
of
one
of
the
upper
windows
and
saw
the
maid
with
whom
I
had
just
been
speaking
running
across
the
field
in
the
direction
of
the
cottage
.
Then
of
course
I
saw
exactly
what
it
all
meant
.
My
wife
had
gone
over
there
and
had
asked
the
servant
to
call
her
if
I
should
return
.
Tingling
with
anger
,
I
rushed
down
and
hurried
across
,
determined
to
end
the
matter
once
and
forever
.
I
saw
my
wife
and
the
maid
hurrying
back
along
the
lane
,
but
I
did
not
stop
to
speak
with
them
.
In
the
cottage
lay
the
secret
which
was
casting
a
shadow
over
my
life
.
I
vowed
that
,
come
what
might
,
it
should
be
a
secret
no
longer
.
I
did
not
even
knock
when
I
reached
it
,
but
turned
the
handle
and
rushed
into
the
passage
.

"
It
was
all
still
and
quiet
upon
the
ground
floor
.
In
the
kitchen
a
kettle
was
singing
on
the
fire
,
and
a
large
black
cat
lay
coiled
up
in
the
basket
;
but
there
was
no
sign
of
the
woman
whom
I
had
seen
before
.
I
ran
into
the
other
room
,
but
it
was
equally
deserted
.
Then
I
rushed
up
the
stairs
only
to
find
two
other
rooms
empty
and
deserted
at
the
top
.
There
was
no
one
at
all
in
the
whole
house
.
365
The
furniture
and
pictures
were
of
the
most
common
and
vulgar
description
,
save
in
the
one
chamber
at
the
window
of
which
I
had
seen
the
strange
face
.
That
was
comfortable
and
elegant
,
and
all
my
suspicions
rose
into
a
fierce
,
bitter
flame
when
I
saw
that
on
the
mantelpiece
stood
a
copy
of
a
full-length
photograph
of
my
wife
,
which
had
been
taken
at
my
request
only
three
months
ago
.
366
"
I
stayed
long
enough
to
make
certain
that
the
house
was
absolutely
empty
.
Then
I
left
it
,
feeling
a
weight
at
my
heart
such
as
I
had
never
had
before
.
My
wife
came
out
into
the
hall
as
I
entered
my
house
;
but
I
was
too
hurt
and
angry
to
speak
with
her
,
and
,
pushing
past
her
,
I
made
my
way
into
my
study
.
She
followed
me
,
however
,
before
I
could
close
the
door
.
367
"
'
I
am
sorry
that
I
broke
my
promise
,
Jack
,
"
said
she
,
'
but
if
you
knew
all
the
circumstances
I
am
sure
that
you
would
forgive
me
.

"
'
Tell
me
everything
,
then
,
"
said
I.
369
"
'
I
can
not
,
Jack
,
I
can
not
,
"
she
cried
.
370
"
'
Until
you
tell
me
who
it
is
that
has
been
living
in
that
cottage
,
and
who
it
is
to
whom
you
have
given
that
photograph
,
there
can
never
be
any
confidence
between
us
,
"
said
I
,
and
breaking
away
from
her
I
left
the
house
.
That
was
yesterday
,
Mr.
Holmes
,
and
I
have
not
seen
her
since
,
nor
do
I
know
anything
more
about
this
strange
business
.
It
is
the
first
shadow
that
has
come
between
us
,
and
it
has
so
shaken
me
that
I
do
not
know
what
I
should
do
for
the
best
.
