And
that
undoubtedly
because
of
her
poverty
and
loneliness
in
Lycurgus
,
she
had
been
led
to
listen
to
the
honeyed
words
of
this
scoundrel
,
who
,
coming
to
her
with
promises
of
marriage
,
had
lured
her
into
this
unhallowed
and
,
in
her
case
,
all
but
unbelievable
relationship
which
had
led
to
her
death
.
For
she
was
good
and
pure
and
sweet
and
kind
always
.
"
And
to
think
that
she
is
dead
.
I
ca
n't
believe
it
.
"
It
was
so
that
her
mother
was
quoted
.
"
Only
Monday
a
week
ago
she
was
about
--
a
little
depressed
,
I
thought
,
but
smiling
,
and
for
some
reason
which
I
thought
odd
at
the
time
went
all
over
the
place
Monday
afternoon
and
evening
,
looking
at
things
and
gathering
some
flowers
.
And
then
she
came
over
and
put
her
arms
around
me
and
said
:
'
I
wish
I
were
a
little
girl
again
,
Mamma
,
and
that
you
would
take
me
in
your
arms
and
rock
me
like
you
used
to
.
'
And
I
said
,
'
Why
,
Roberta
,
what
makes
you
so
sad
to-night
,
anyhow
?
'
And
she
said
,
'
Oh
,
nothing
.
You
know
I
'm
going
back
in
the
morning
.
And
somehow
I
feel
a
little
foolish
about
it
to-night
.
'
And
to
think
that
it
was
this
trip
that
was
in
her
mind
.
I
suppose
she
had
a
premonition
that
all
would
not
work
out
as
she
had
planned
.
And
to
think
he
struck
my
little
girl
,
she
who
never
could
harm
anything
,
not
even
a
fly
.
"
And
here
,
in
spite
of
herself
,
and
with
the
saddened
Titus
in
the
background
,
she
began
to
cry
silently
.
But
from
the
Griffiths
and
other
members
of
this
local
social
world
,
complete
and
almost
unbreakable
silence
.
For
in
so
far
as
Samuel
Griffiths
was
concerned
,
it
was
impossible
for
him
at
first
either
to
grasp
or
believe
that
Clyde
could
be
capable
of
such
a
deed
.
What
!
That
bland
and
rather
timid
and
decidedly
gentlemanly
youth
,
as
he
saw
him
,
charged
with
murder
?
Being
rather
far
from
Lycurgus
at
the
time
--
Upper
Saranac
--
where
he
was
reached
with
difficulty
by
Gilbert
--
he
was
almost
unprepared
to
think
,
let
alone
act
.
Why
,
how
impossible
!
There
must
be
some
mistake
here
.
They
must
have
confused
Clyde
with
some
one
else
.
Nevertheless
,
Gilbert
proceeding
to
explain
that
it
was
unquestionably
true
,
since
the
girl
had
worked
in
the
factory
under
Clyde
,
and
the
district
attorney
at
Bridgeburg
with
whom
he
had
already
been
in
communication
had
assured
him
that
he
was
in
possession
of
letters
which
the
dead
girl
had
written
to
Clyde
and
that
Clyde
did
not
attempt
to
deny
them
.
"
Very
well
,
then
,
"
countered
Samuel
.
"
Do
n't
act
hastily
,
and
above
all
,
do
n't
talk
to
anyone
outside
of
Smillie
or
Gotboy
until
I
see
you
.
Where
's
Brookhart
?
"
--
referring
to
Darrah
Brookhart
,
of
counsel
for
Griffiths
&
Company
.
"
He
's
in
Boston
to-day
,
"
returned
his
son
.
"
I
think
he
told
me
last
Friday
that
he
would
n't
be
back
here
until
Monday
or
Tuesday
.
"
"
Well
,
wire
him
that
I
want
him
to
return
at
once
.
Incidentally
,
have
Smillie
see
if
he
can
arrange
with
the
editors
of
The
Star
and
Beacon
down
there
to
suspend
any
comment
until
I
get
back
.
I
'll
be
down
in
the
morning
.
Also
tell
him
to
get
in
the
car
and
run
up
there
"
(
Bridgeburg
)
"
to-day
if
he
can
.
I
must
know
from
first
hand
all
there
is
to
know
.
Have
him
see
Clyde
if
he
can
,
also
this
district
attorney
,
and
bring
down
any
news
that
he
can
get
.
And
all
the
newspapers
.
I
want
to
see
for
myself
what
has
been
published
.
