But
Mrs.
Griffiths
merely
continued
to
stare
at
that
ominous
headline
,
then
swiftly
ran
her
gray-blue
eyes
over
the
room
.
Her
broad
face
was
blanched
and
dignified
by
an
enormous
strain
and
an
enormous
pain
.
Her
erring
,
misguided
,
no
doubt
unfortunate
,
son
,
with
all
his
wild
dreams
of
getting
on
and
up
,
was
in
danger
of
death
,
of
being
electrocuted
for
a
crime
--
for
murder
!
He
had
killed
some
one
--
a
poor
working-girl
,
the
paper
said
.
"
Ssh
!
"
she
whispered
,
putting
one
finger
to
her
own
lips
as
a
sign
.
"
He
"
(
indicating
Asa
)
"
must
not
know
yet
,
anyhow
.
We
must
wire
first
,
or
write
.
You
can
have
the
answers
come
to
you
,
maybe
.
I
will
give
you
the
money
.
But
I
must
sit
down
somewhere
now
for
a
minute
.
I
feel
a
little
weak
.
I
'll
sit
here
.
Let
me
have
the
Bible
.
"
On
the
small
dresser
was
a
Gideon
Bible
,
which
,
sitting
on
the
edge
of
the
commonplace
iron
bed
,
she
now
opened
instinctively
at
Psalms
3
and
4
.
"
Lord
,
how
are
they
increased
that
trouble
.
"
"
Hear
me
,
when
I
call
,
O
God
of
my
righteousness
.
"
And
then
reading
on
silently
,
even
placidly
apparently
,
through
6
,
8
,
10
,
13
,
23
,
91
,
while
Esta
stood
by
in
silent
amazement
and
misery
.
"
Oh
,
Mamma
,
I
just
ca
n't
believe
it
.
Oh
,
this
is
too
terrible
!
"
But
Mrs.
Griffiths
read
on
.
It
was
as
if
,
and
in
spite
of
all
this
,
she
had
been
able
to
retreat
into
some
still
,
silent
place
,
where
,
for
the
time
being
at
least
,
no
evil
human
ill
could
reach
her
.
Then
at
last
,
quite
calmly
closing
the
book
,
and
rising
,
she
went
on
:
"
Now
,
we
must
think
out
what
to
say
and
who
to
send
that
telegram
to
--
I
mean
to
Clyde
,
of
course
--
at
that
place
,
wherever
it
is
--
Bridgeburg
,
"
she
added
,
looking
at
the
paper
,
and
then
interpolating
from
the
Bible
--
"
By
terrible
things
in
righteousness
wilt
thou
answer
us
,
O
God
!
"
"
Or
,
maybe
,
those
two
lawyers
--
their
names
are
there
.
I
'm
afraid
to
wire
Asa
's
brother
for
fear
he
'll
wire
back
to
him
.
"
(
Then
:
'
Thou
art
my
bulwark
and
my
strength
.
In
Thee
will
I
trust
.
'
)
"
But
I
suppose
they
would
give
it
to
him
if
we
sent
it
care
of
that
judge
or
those
lawyers
,
do
n't
you
think
?
But
it
would
be
better
if
we
could
send
it
to
him
direct
,
I
suppose
.
(
'
He
leadeth
me
by
the
still
waters
.
'
)
Just
say
that
I
have
read
about
him
and
still
have
faith
and
love
for
him
,
but
he
is
to
tell
me
the
truth
and
what
to
do
.
If
he
needs
money
we
will
have
to
see
what
we
can
do
,
I
suppose
.
(
'
He
restoreth
my
soul
.
'
)
"
And
then
,
despite
her
sudden
peace
of
the
moment
,
she
once
more
began
wringing
her
large
,
rough
hands
.
"
Oh
,
it
ca
n't
be
true
.
Oh
,
dear
,
no
!
After
all
,
he
is
my
son
.
We
all
love
him
and
have
faith
.
We
must
say
that
.
God
will
deliver
him
.
Watch
and
pray
.
Have
faith
.
Under
his
wings
shalt
thou
trust
