She
was
so
beside
herself
that
she
scarcely
knew
what
she
was
saying
.
And
Esta
,
at
her
side
,
was
saying
:
"
Yes
,
Mamma
!
Oh
,
of
course
!
Yes
,
I
will
!
I
know
he
'll
get
it
all
right
.
"
But
she
,
too
,
was
saying
to
herself
:
"
My
God
!
My
God
!
What
could
be
worse
than
this
--
to
be
accused
of
murder
!
But
,
of
course
,
it
ca
n't
be
true
.
It
ca
n't
be
true
.
If
he
should
hear
!
"
(
She
was
thinking
of
her
husband
.
)
"
And
after
Russell
,
too
.
And
Clyde
's
trouble
there
in
Kansas
City
.
Poor
Mamma
.
She
has
so
much
trouble
.
"
Together
,
after
a
time
,
and
avoiding
Asa
who
was
in
an
adjoining
room
helping
with
the
cleaning
,
the
two
made
their
way
to
the
general
mission
room
below
,
where
was
silence
and
many
placards
which
proclaimed
the
charity
,
the
wisdom
,
and
the
sustaining
righteousness
of
God
.
The
telegram
,
worded
in
the
spirit
just
described
,
was
forthwith
despatched
care
of
Belknap
and
Jephson
,
who
immediately
counseled
Clyde
what
to
reply
--
that
all
was
well
with
him
;
that
he
had
the
best
of
advice
and
would
need
no
financial
aid
.
Also
that
until
his
lawyers
advised
it
,
it
would
be
best
if
no
member
of
the
family
troubled
to
appear
,
since
everything
that
could
possibly
be
done
to
aid
him
was
already
being
done
.
At
the
same
time
they
wrote
Mrs.
Griffiths
,
assuring
her
of
their
interest
in
Clyde
and
advising
her
to
let
matters
rest
as
they
were
for
the
present
.
Despite
the
fact
that
the
Griffiths
were
thus
restrained
from
appearing
in
the
east
,
neither
Belknap
nor
Jephson
were
averse
to
some
news
of
the
existence
,
whereabouts
,
faith
and
sympathy
of
Clyde
's
most
immediate
relatives
creeping
into
the
newspapers
,
since
the
latter
were
so
persistent
in
referring
to
his
isolation
.
And
in
this
connection
they
were
aided
by
the
fact
that
his
mother
's
telegram
on
being
received
in
Bridgeburg
was
at
once
read
by
individuals
who
were
particularly
interested
in
the
case
and
by
them
whispered
to
the
public
and
the
press
,
with
the
result
that
in
Denver
the
family
was
at
once
sought
out
and
interviewed
.
And
shortly
after
,
there
was
circulated
in
all
the
papers
east
and
west
a
more
or
less
complete
account
of
the
present
state
of
Clyde
's
family
,
the
nature
of
the
mission
conducted
by
them
,
as
well
as
their
narrow
and
highly
individualistic
religious
beliefs
and
actions
,
even
the
statement
that
often
in
his
early
youth
Clyde
had
been
taken
into
the
streets
to
sing
and
pray
--
a
revelation
which
shocked
Lycurgus
and
Twelfth
Lake
society
about
as
much
as
it
did
him
.
At
the
same
time
,
Mrs.
Griffiths
,
being
an
honest
woman
and
whole
-
heartedly
sincere
in
her
faith
and
in
the
good
of
her
work
,
did
not
hesitate
to
relate
to
reporter
after
reporter
who
called
,
all
the
details
of
the
missionary
work
of
her
husband
and
herself
in
Denver
and
elsewhere
.
Also
that
neither
Clyde
nor
any
of
the
other
children
had
ever
enjoyed
the
opportunities
that
come
to
most
.
However
,
her
boy
,
whatever
the
present
charge
might
be
,
was
not
innately
bad
,
and
she
could
not
believe
that
he
was
guilty
of
any
such
crime
.
It
was
all
an
unfortunate
and
accidental
combination
of
circumstances
which
he
would
explain
at
the
trial
.
However
,
whatever
foolish
thing
he
might
have
done
,
it
was
all
to
be
attributed
to
an
unfortunate
accident
which
broke
up
the
mission
work
in
Kansas
City
a
few
years
before
and
compelled
the
removal
of
the
family
from
there
to
Denver
,
leaving
Clyde
to
make
his
way
alone
.
And
it
was
because
of
advice
from
her
that
he
had
written
her
husband
's
rich
brother
in
Lycurgus
,
which
led
to
his
going
there
--
a
series
of
statements
which
caused
Clyde
in
his
cell
to
tingle
with
a
kind
of
prideful
misery
and
resentment
and
forced
him
to
write
his
mother
and
complain
.
Why
need
she
always
talk
so
much
about
the
past
and
the
work
that
she
and
his
father
were
connected
with
,
when
she
knew
that
he
had
never
liked
it
and
resented
going
on
the
streets
?
Many
people
did
n't
see
it
as
she
and
his
father
did
,
particularly
his
uncle
and
cousin
and
all
those
rich
people
he
had
come
to
know
,
and
who
were
able
to
make
their
way
in
so
different
and
much
more
brilliant
fashion
.
And
now
,
as
he
said
to
himself
,
Sondra
would
most
certainly
read
this
--
all
that
he
had
hoped
to
conceal
.
Yet
even
in
the
face
of
all
this
,
because
of
so
much
sincerity
and
force
in
his
mother
,
he
could
not
help
but
think
of
her
with
affection
and
respect
,
and
because
of
her
sure
and
unfailing
love
for
him
,
with
emotion
.
For
in
answer
to
his
letter
she
wrote
that
she
was
sorry
if
she
had
hurt
his
feelings
or
injured
him
in
any
way
.
But
must
not
the
truth
be
shown
always
?
The
ways
of
God
were
for
the
best
and
surely
no
harm
could
spring
from
service
in
His
cause
.
He
must
not
ask
her
to
lie
.
But
if
he
said
the
word
,
she
would
so
gladly
attempt
to
raise
the
necessary
money
and
come
to
his
aid
--
sit
in
his
cell
and
plan
with
him
--
holding
his
hands
--
but
as
Clyde
so
well
knew
and
thought
at
this
time
and
which
caused
him
to
decide
that
she
must
not
come
yet
--
demanding
of
him
the
truth
--
with
those
clear
,
steady
blue
eyes
of
hers
looking
into
his
own
.
He
could
not
stand
that
now
.
