See
where
Aileen
is
,
John
,
"
observed
Mrs.
Butler
,
interestedly
.
"
The
meal
will
be
gettin
'
cold
.
"
Old
John
returned
with
the
news
that
Aileen
was
not
in
her
room
.
"
Sure
she
must
be
somewhere
,
"
commented
Mrs.
Butler
,
only
slightly
perplexed
.
"
She
'll
be
comin
'
,
though
,
never
mind
,
if
she
wants
to
.
She
knows
it
's
meal-time
.
"
The
conversation
drifted
from
a
new
water-works
that
was
being
planned
to
the
new
city
hall
,
then
nearing
completion
;
Cowperwood
's
financial
and
social
troubles
,
and
the
state
of
the
stock
market
generally
;
a
new
gold-mine
in
Arizona
;
the
departure
of
Mrs.
Mollenhauer
the
following
Tuesday
for
Europe
,
with
appropriate
comments
by
Norah
and
Callum
;
and
a
Christmas
ball
that
was
going
to
be
given
for
charity
.
"
Aileen
'll
be
wantin
'
to
go
to
that
,
"
commented
Mrs.
Butler
.
"
I
'm
going
,
you
bet
,
"
put
in
Norah
.
"
Who
's
going
to
take
you
?
"
asked
Callum
.
"
That
's
my
affair
,
mister
,
"
she
replied
,
smartly
.
The
meal
was
over
,
and
Mrs.
Butler
strolled
up
to
Aileen
's
room
to
see
why
she
had
not
come
down
to
dinner
.
Butler
entered
his
den
,
wishing
so
much
that
he
could
take
his
wife
into
his
confidence
concerning
all
that
was
worrying
him
.
On
his
desk
,
as
he
sat
down
and
turned
up
the
light
,
he
saw
the
note
.
He
recognized
Aileen
's
handwriting
at
once
.
What
could
she
mean
by
writing
him
?
A
sense
of
the
untoward
came
to
him
,
and
he
tore
it
open
slowly
,
and
,
putting
on
his
glasses
,
contemplated
it
solemnly
.
So
Aileen
was
gone
.
The
old
man
stared
at
each
word
as
if
it
had
been
written
in
fire
.
She
said
she
had
not
gone
with
Cowperwood
.
It
was
possible
,
just
the
same
,
that
he
had
run
away
from
Philadelphia
and
taken
her
with
him
.
This
was
the
last
straw
.
This
ended
it
.
Aileen
lured
away
from
home
--
to
where
--
to
what
?
Butler
could
scarcely
believe
,
though
,
that
Cowperwood
had
tempted
her
to
do
this
.
He
had
too
much
at
stake
;
it
would
involve
his
own
and
Butler
's
families
.
The
papers
would
be
certain
to
get
it
quickly
.
He
got
up
,
crumpling
the
paper
in
his
hand
,
and
turned
about
at
a
noise
.
His
wife
was
coming
in
.
He
pulled
himself
together
and
shoved
the
letter
in
his
pocket
.
