Some
two
days
later
,
when
Berenice
had
brooded
and
brooded
until
she
could
endure
it
no
longer
,
she
finally
went
to
Mrs.
Carter
and
said
:
"
Mother
,
why
do
n't
you
tell
me
all
about
this
Louisville
matter
so
that
I
may
really
know
?
I
can
see
something
is
worrying
you
.
Ca
n't
you
trust
me
?
I
am
no
longer
a
child
by
any
means
,
and
I
am
your
daughter
.
It
may
help
me
to
straighten
things
out
,
to
know
what
to
do
.
"
Mrs.
Carter
,
who
had
always
played
a
game
of
lofty
though
loving
motherhood
,
was
greatly
taken
aback
by
this
courageous
attitude
.
She
flushed
and
chilled
a
little
;
then
decided
to
lie
.
"
I
tell
you
there
was
nothing
at
all
,
"
she
declared
,
nervously
and
pettishly
.
"
It
is
all
an
awful
mistake
.
I
wish
that
dreadful
man
could
be
punished
severely
for
what
he
said
to
me
.
To
be
outraged
and
insulted
this
way
before
my
own
child
!
"
"
Mother
,
"
questioned
Berenice
,
fixing
her
with
those
cool
,
blue
eyes
,
"
why
do
n't
you
tell
me
all
about
Louisville
?
You
and
I
should
n't
have
things
between
us
.
Maybe
I
can
help
you
.
"
All
at
once
Mrs.
Carter
,
realizing
that
her
daughter
was
no
longer
a
child
nor
a
mere
social
butterfly
,
but
a
woman
superior
,
cool
,
sympathetic
,
with
intuitions
much
deeper
than
her
own
,
sank
into
a
heavily
flowered
wing-chair
behind
her
,
and
,
seeking
a
small
pocket-handkerchief
with
one
hand
,
placed
the
other
over
her
eyes
and
began
to
cry
.
"
I
was
so
driven
,
Bevy
,
I
did
n't
know
which
way
to
turn
.
Colonel
Gillis
suggested
it
.
I
wanted
to
keep
you
and
Rolfe
in
school
and
give
you
a
chance
.
It
is
n't
true
--
anything
that
horrible
man
said
.
It
was
n't
anything
like
what
he
suggested
.
Colonel
Gillis
and
several
others
wanted
me
to
rent
them
bachelor
quarters
,
and
that
's
the
way
it
all
came
about
.
It
was
n't
my
fault
;
I
could
n't
help
myself
,
Bevy
.
"
"
And
what
about
Mr.
Cowperwood
?
"
inquired
Berenice
curiously
.
She
had
begun
of
late
to
think
a
great
deal
about
Cowperwood
.
He
was
so
cool
,
deep
,
dynamic
,
in
a
way
resourceful
,
like
herself
.
"
There
's
nothing
about
him
,
"
replied
Mrs.
Carter
,
looking
up
defensively
.
Of
all
her
men
friends
she
best
liked
Cowperwood
.
He
had
never
advised
her
to
evil
ways
or
used
her
house
as
a
convenience
to
himself
alone
.
"
He
never
did
anything
but
help
me
out
.
He
advised
me
to
give
up
my
house
in
Louisville
and
come
East
and
devote
myself
to
looking
after
you
and
Rolfe
.
He
offered
to
help
me
until
you
two
should
be
able
to
help
yourselves
,
and
so
I
came
.
Oh
,
if
I
had
only
not
been
so
foolish
--
so
afraid
of
life
!
But
your
father
and
Mr.
Carter
just
ran
through
everything
.
