And
at
approximately
the
same
time
,
in
the
home
of
the
Finchleys
on
Fourth
Lake
,
Sondra
herself
,
after
forty-eight
hours
of
most
macerating
thoughts
spent
brooding
on
the
astounding
climax
which
had
put
a
period
to
all
her
girlish
fancies
in
regard
to
Clyde
,
deciding
at
last
to
confess
all
to
her
father
,
to
whom
she
was
more
drawn
than
to
her
mother
.
And
accordingly
approaching
him
in
the
library
,
where
usually
he
sat
after
dinner
,
reading
or
considering
his
various
affairs
.
But
having
come
within
earshot
of
him
,
beginning
to
sob
,
for
truly
she
was
stricken
in
the
matter
of
her
love
for
Clyde
,
as
well
as
her
various
vanities
and
illusions
in
regard
to
her
own
high
position
,
the
scandal
that
was
about
to
fall
on
her
and
her
family
.
Oh
,
what
would
her
mother
say
now
,
after
all
her
warnings
?
And
her
father
?
And
Gilbert
Griffiths
and
his
affianced
bride
?
And
the
Cranstons
,
who
except
for
her
influence
over
Bertine
,
would
never
have
been
drawn
into
this
intimacy
with
Clyde
?
Her
sobs
arresting
her
father
's
attention
,
he
at
once
paused
to
look
up
,
the
meaning
of
this
quite
beyond
him
.
Yet
instantly
sensing
something
very
dreadful
,
gathering
her
up
in
his
arms
,
and
consolingly
murmuring
:
"
There
,
there
!
For
heaven
's
sake
,
what
's
happened
to
my
little
girl
now
?
Who
's
done
what
and
why
?
"
And
then
,
with
a
decidedly
amazed
and
shaken
expression
,
listening
to
a
complete
confession
of
all
that
had
occurred
thus
far
--
the
first
meeting
with
Clyde
,
her
interest
in
him
,
the
attitude
of
the
Griffiths
,
her
letters
,
her
love
,
and
then
this
--
this
awful
accusation
and
arrest
.
And
if
it
were
true
!
And
her
name
were
used
,
and
her
daddy
's
!
And
once
more
she
fell
to
weeping
as
though
her
heart
would
break
,
yet
knowing
full
well
that
in
the
end
she
would
have
her
father
's
sympathy
and
forgiveness
,
whatever
his
subsequent
suffering
and
mood
.
And
at
once
Finchley
,
accustomed
to
peace
and
order
and
tact
and
sense
in
his
own
home
,
looking
at
his
daughter
in
an
astounded
and
critical
and
yet
not
uncharitable
way
,
and
exclaiming
:
"
Well
,
well
,
of
all
things
!
Well
,
I
'll
be
damned
!
I
am
amazed
,
my
dear
!
I
am
astounded
!
This
is
a
little
too
much
,
I
must
say
.
Accused
of
murder
!
And
with
letters
of
yours
in
your
own
handwriting
,
you
say
,
in
his
possession
,
or
in
the
hands
of
this
district
attorney
,
for
all
we
know
by
now
.
Tst
!
Tst
!
Tst
!
Damned
foolish
,
Sondra
,
damned
foolish
!
Your
mother
has
been
talking
to
me
for
months
about
this
,
and
you
know
I
was
taking
your
word
for
it
against
hers
.
And
now
see
what
's
happened
!
Why
could
n't
you
have
told
me
or
listened
to
her
?
Why
could
n't
you
have
talked
all
this
over
with
me
before
going
so
far
?
I
thought
we
understood
each
other
,
you
and
I.
Your
mother
and
I
have
always
acted
for
your
own
good
,
have
n't
we
?
You
know
that
.
Besides
,
I
certainly
thought
you
had
better
sense
.
Really
,
I
did
.
But
a
murder
case
,
and
you
connected
with
it
!
My
God
!
"
He
got
up
,
a
handsome
blond
man
in
carefully
made
clothes
,
and
paced
the
floor
,
snapping
his
fingers
irritably
,
while
Sondra
continued
to
weep
.
Suddenly
,
ceasing
his
walking
,
he
turned
again
toward
her
and
resumed
with
:
"
But
,
there
,
there
!
There
's
no
use
crying
over
it
.
Crying
is
n't
going
to
fix
it
.
Of
course
,
we
may
be
able
to
live
it
down
in
some
way
.
I
do
n't
know
.
I
do
n't
know
.
I
ca
n't
guess
what
effect
this
is
likely
to
have
on
you
personally
.
But
one
thing
is
sure
.
We
do
want
to
know
something
about
those
letters
.
"
And
forthwith
,
and
while
Sondra
wept
on
,
he
proceeded
first
to
call
his
wife
in
order
to
explain
the
nature
of
the
blow
--
a
social
blow
that
was
to
lurk
in
her
memory
as
a
shadow
for
the
rest
of
her
years
--
and
next
to
call
up
Legare
Atterbury
,
lawyer
,
state
senator
,
chairman
of
the
Republican
State
Central
Committee
and
his
own
private
counsel
for
years
past
,
to
whom
he
explained
the
amazing
difficulty
in
which
his
daughter
now
found
herself
.
Also
to
inquire
what
was
the
most
advisable
thing
to
be
done
.
"
Well
,
let
me
see
,
"
came
from
Atterbury
,
"
I
would
n't
worry
very
much
if
I
were
you
,
Mr.
Finchley
.
I
think
I
can
do
something
to
straighten
this
out
for
you
before
any
real
public
damage
is
done
.
Now
,
let
me
see
.
Who
is
the
district
attorney
of
Cataraqui
County
,
anyhow
?
I
'll
have
to
look
that
up
and
get
in
touch
with
him
and
call
you
back
.
But
never
mind
,
I
promise
you
I
'll
be
able
to
do
something
--
keep
the
letters
out
of
the
papers
,
anyhow
.
Maybe
out
of
the
trial
--
I
'm
not
sure
--
but
I
am
sure
I
can
fix
it
so
that
her
name
will
not
be
mentioned
,
so
do
n't
worry
.
"
And
then
Atterbury
in
turn
calling
up
Mason
,
whose
name
he
found
in
his
lawyers
'
directory
,
and
at
once
arranging
for
a
conference
with
him
,
since
Mason
seemed
to
think
that
the
letters
were
most
vital
to
his
case
,
although
he
was
so
much
overawed
by
Atterbury
's
voice
that
he
was
quick
to
explain
that
by
no
means
had
he
planned
as
yet
to
use
publicly
the
name
of
Sondra
or
the
letters
either
,
but
rather
to
reserve
their
actuality
for
the
private
inspection
of
the
grand
jury
,
unless
Clyde
should
choose
to
confess
and
avoid
a
trial
.
But
Atterbury
,
after
referring
back
to
Finchley
and
finding
him
opposed
to
any
use
of
the
letters
whatsoever
,
or
Sondra
's
name
either
,
assuring
him
that
on
the
morrow
or
the
day
after
he
would
himself
proceed
to
Bridgeburg
with
some
plans
and
political
information
which
might
cause
Mason
to
think
twice
before
he
so
much
as
considered
referring
to
Sondra
in
any
public
way
.
