In
consequence
he
now
looked
at
Roberta
in
an
extremely
sober
manner
.
By
no
means
,
he
now
said
to
himself
,
must
he
allow
himself
to
become
emotionally
or
otherwise
involved
here
.
And
so
in
order
to
help
himself
as
well
as
her
to
attain
and
maintain
a
balance
which
would
permit
of
both
extricating
themselves
without
too
much
trouble
,
he
drew
toward
him
his
black
leather
case
record
book
and
,
opening
it
,
said
:
"
Now
,
let
's
see
if
we
ca
n't
find
out
what
the
trouble
is
here
.
What
is
your
name
?
"
"
Ruth
Howard
.
Mrs.
Howard
,
"
replied
Roberta
nervously
and
tensely
,
at
once
fixing
upon
a
name
which
Clyde
had
suggested
for
her
use
.
And
now
,
interestingly
enough
,
at
mention
of
the
fact
that
she
was
married
,
he
breathed
easier
.
But
why
the
tears
then
?
What
reason
could
a
young
married
woman
have
for
being
so
intensely
shy
and
nervous
?
"
And
your
husband
's
first
name
?
"
he
went
on
.
As
simple
as
the
question
was
,
and
as
easy
as
it
should
have
been
to
answer
,
Roberta
nevertheless
hesitated
before
she
could
bring
herself
to
say
:
"
Gifford
,
"
her
older
brother
's
name
.
"
You
live
around
her
,
I
presume
?
"
"
In
Fonda
.
"
"
Yes
.
And
how
old
are
you
?
"
"
Twenty-two
.
"
"
How
long
have
you
been
married
?
"
