Aileen
took
it
,
and
for
a
second
was
relieved
to
be
able
to
lower
her
eyes
to
the
paper
.
Her
relief
vanished
in
a
second
,
when
she
realized
how
in
a
moment
she
would
have
to
raise
them
again
and
look
him
in
the
face
.
DEAR
SIR
--
This
is
to
warn
you
that
your
daughter
Aileen
is
running
around
with
a
man
that
she
should
n't
,
Frank
A.
Cowperwood
,
the
banker
.
If
you
do
n't
believe
it
,
watch
the
house
at
931
North
Tenth
Street
.
Then
you
can
see
for
yourself
.
In
spite
of
herself
the
color
fled
from
her
cheeks
instantly
,
only
to
come
back
in
a
hot
,
defiant
wave
.
"
Why
,
what
a
lie
!
"
she
said
,
lifting
her
eyes
to
her
father
's
.
"
To
think
that
any
one
should
write
such
a
thing
of
me
!
How
dare
they
!
I
think
it
's
a
shame
!
"
Old
Butler
looked
at
her
narrowly
,
solemnly
.
He
was
not
deceived
to
any
extent
by
her
bravado
.
If
she
were
really
innocent
,
he
knew
she
would
have
jumped
to
her
feet
in
her
defiant
way
.
Protest
would
have
been
written
all
over
her
.
As
it
was
,
she
only
stared
haughtily
.
He
read
through
her
eager
defiance
to
the
guilty
truth
.
"
How
do
ye
know
,
daughter
,
that
I
have
n't
had
the
house
watched
?
"
he
said
,
quizzically
.
"
How
do
ye
know
that
ye
have
n't
been
seen
goin
'
in
there
?
"
Only
Aileen
's
solemn
promise
to
her
lover
could
have
saved
her
from
this
subtle
thrust
.
As
it
was
,
she
paled
nervously
;
but
she
saw
Frank
Cowperwood
,
solemn
and
distinguished
,
asking
her
what
she
would
say
if
she
were
caught
.
"
It
's
a
lie
!
"
she
said
,
catching
her
breath
.
"
I
was
n't
at
any
house
at
that
number
,
and
no
one
saw
me
going
in
there
.
How
can
you
ask
me
that
,
father
?
"
In
spite
of
his
mixed
feelings
of
uncertainty
and
yet
unshakable
belief
that
his
daughter
was
guilty
,
he
could
not
help
admiring
her
courage
--
she
was
so
defiant
,
as
she
sat
there
,
so
set
in
her
determination
to
lie
and
thus
defend
herself
.
Her
beauty
helped
her
in
his
mood
,
raised
her
in
his
esteem
.
After
all
,
what
could
you
do
with
a
woman
of
this
kind
?
She
was
not
a
ten-year-old
girl
any
more
,
as
in
a
way
he
sometimes
continued
to
fancy
her
.
"
Ye
ought
n't
to
say
that
if
it
is
n't
true
,
Aileen
,
"
he
said
.
"
Ye
ought
n't
to
lie
.
It
's
against
your
faith
.
Why
would
anybody
write
a
letter
like
that
if
it
was
n't
so
?
"
