For
answer
she
merely
rocked
and
moaned
,
uncontrolled
and
uncontrollable
.
Being
anxious
about
conditions
elsewhere
,
he
turned
and
stepped
out
into
the
hall
He
must
make
some
show
for
the
benefit
of
the
doctor
and
the
servants
;
he
must
look
after
Rita
,
and
offer
some
sort
of
passing
explanation
to
Sohlherg
.
"
Here
,
"
he
called
to
a
passing
servant
,
"
shut
that
door
and
watch
it
.
If
Mrs.
Cowperwood
comes
out
call
me
instantly
.
"
Rita
was
not
dead
by
any
means
--
only
seriously
bruised
,
scratched
,
and
choked
.
Her
scalp
was
cut
in
one
place
.
Aileen
had
repeatedly
beaten
her
head
on
the
floor
,
and
this
might
have
resulted
seriously
if
Cowperwood
had
not
entered
as
quickly
as
he
had
.
Sohlberg
for
the
moment
--
for
some
little
time
,
in
fact
--
was
under
the
impression
that
Aileen
had
truly
lost
her
mind
,
had
suddenly
gone
crazy
,
and
that
those
shameless
charges
he
had
heard
her
making
were
the
emanations
of
a
disordered
brain
.
Nevertheless
the
things
she
had
said
haunted
him
.
He
was
in
a
bad
state
himself
--
almost
a
subject
for
the
doctor
.
His
lips
were
bluish
,
his
cheeks
blanched
.
Rita
had
been
carried
into
an
adjoining
bedroom
and
laid
upon
a
bed
;
cold
water
,
ointments
,
a
bottle
of
arnica
had
been
procured
;
and
when
Cowperwood
appeared
she
was
conscious
and
somewhat
better
.
But
she
was
still
very
weak
and
smarting
from
her
wounds
,
both
mental
and
physical
.
When
the
doctor
arrived
he
had
been
told
that
a
lady
,
a
guest
,
had
fallen
down-stairs
;
when
Cowperwood
came
in
the
physician
was
dressing
her
wounds
.
As
soon
as
he
had
gone
Cowperwood
said
to
the
maid
in
attendance
,
"
Go
get
me
some
hot
water
.
"
As
the
latter
disappeared
he
bent
over
and
kissed
Rita
's
bruised
lips
,
putting
his
finger
to
his
own
in
warning
sign
.
Rita
,
"
he
asked
,
softly
,
"
are
you
fully
conscious
?
"
She
nodded
weakly
.
"
Listen
,
then
,
"
he
said
,
bending
over
and
speaking
slowly
.
"
Listen
carefully
.
Pay
strict
attention
to
what
I
'm
saying
.
You
must
understand
every
word
,
and
do
as
I
tell
you
.
You
are
not
seriously
injured
.
You
will
be
all
right
.
This
will
blow
over
.
I
have
sent
for
another
doctor
to
call
on
you
at
your
studio
.
Your
husband
has
gone
for
some
fresh
clothes
.
He
will
come
back
in
a
little
while
.
My
carriage
will
take
you
home
when
you
are
a
little
stronger
.
You
must
n't
worry
.
Everything
will
be
all
right
,
but
you
must
deny
everything
,
do
you
hear
?
Everything
!
In
so
far
as
you
know
,
Mrs.
Cowperwood
is
insane
.
I
will
talk
to
your
husband
to-morrow
.
I
will
send
you
a
trained
nurse
.
Meantime
you
must
be
careful
of
what
you
say
and
how
you
say
it
.
Be
perfectly
calm
.
Do
n't
worry
.
You
are
perfectly
safe
here
,
and
you
will
be
there
.
Mrs.
Cowperwood
will
not
trouble
you
any
more
.
I
will
see
to
that
.
I
am
so
sorry
;
but
I
love
you
.
I
am
near
you
all
the
while
.
You
must
not
let
this
make
any
difference
.
You
will
not
see
her
any
more
.
