"
I
am
so
sorry
about
this
unfortunate
business
,
"
said
Cowperwood
,
coming
in
with
brisk
assurance
.
"
I
never
knew
my
wife
to
become
so
strangely
unbalanced
before
.
It
was
most
fortunate
that
I
arrived
when
I
did
.
I
certainly
owe
you
both
every
amend
that
can
be
made
.
I
sincerely
hope
,
Mrs.
Sohlberg
,
that
you
are
not
seriously
injured
.
If
there
is
anything
I
can
possibly
do
--
anything
either
of
you
can
suggest
"
--
he
looked
around
solicitously
at
Sohlberg
--
"
I
shall
only
be
too
glad
to
do
it
.
How
would
it
do
for
you
to
take
Mrs.
Sohlberg
away
for
a
little
while
for
a
rest
?
I
shall
so
gladly
pay
all
expenses
in
connection
with
her
recovery
.
"
Sohlberg
,
brooding
and
heavy
,
remained
unresponsive
,
smoldering
;
Rita
,
cheered
by
Cowperwood
's
presence
,
but
not
wholly
relieved
by
any
means
,
was
questioning
and
disturbed
.
She
was
afraid
there
was
to
be
a
terrific
scene
between
them
.
She
declared
she
was
better
and
would
be
all
right
--
that
she
did
not
need
to
go
away
,
but
that
she
preferred
to
be
alone
.
"
It
's
very
strange
,
"
said
Sohlberg
,
sullenly
,
after
a
little
while
.
"
I
daunt
onderstand
it
!
I
daunt
onderstand
it
at
all
.
Why
should
she
do
soach
a
thing
?
Why
should
she
say
soach
things
?
Here
we
have
been
the
best
of
friends
opp
to
now
.
Then
suddenly
she
attacks
my
wife
and
sais
all
these
strange
things
.
"
"
But
I
have
assured
you
,
my
dear
Mr.
Sohlberg
,
that
my
wife
was
not
in
her
right
mind
.
She
has
been
subject
to
spells
of
this
kind
in
the
past
,
though
never
to
anything
so
violent
as
this
to-night
.
Already
she
has
recovered
her
normal
state
,
and
she
does
not
remember
.
But
,
perhaps
,
if
we
are
going
to
discuss
things
now
we
had
better
go
out
in
the
hall
.
Your
wife
will
need
all
the
rest
she
can
get
.
"
Once
outside
,
Cowperwood
continued
with
brilliant
assurance
:
"
Now
,
my
dear
Sohlberg
,
what
is
it
I
can
say
?
What
is
it
you
wish
me
to
do
?
My
wife
has
made
a
lot
of
groundless
charges
,
to
say
nothing
of
injuring
your
wife
most
seriously
and
shamefully
.
I
can
not
tell
you
,
as
I
have
said
,
how
sorry
I
am
.
I
assure
you
Mrs.
Cowperwood
is
suffering
from
a
gross
illusion
.
There
is
absolutely
nothing
to
do
,
nothing
to
say
,
so
far
as
I
can
see
,
but
to
let
the
whole
matter
drop
.
Do
n't
you
agree
with
me
?
"
Harold
was
twisting
mentally
in
the
coils
of
a
trying
situation
.
His
own
position
,
as
he
knew
,
was
not
formidable
.
Rita
had
reproached
him
over
and
over
for
infidelity
.
He
began
to
swell
and
bluster
at
once
.
"
That
is
all
very
well
for
you
to
say
,
Mr.
Cowperwood
,
"
he
commented
,
defiantly
,
"
but
how
about
me
?
Where
do
I
come
in
?
I
daunt
know
what
to
theenk
yet
.
It
ees
very
strange
.
Supposing
what
your
wife
sais
was
true
?
Supposing
my
wife
has
been
going
around
weeth
some
one
?
That
ees
what
I
want
to
find
out
.
Eef
she
has
!
Eef
eet
is
what
I
theenk
it
ees
I
shall
--
I
shall
--
I
daunt
know
what
I
shall
do
.
I
am
a
very
violent
man
.
"
Cowperwood
almost
smiled
,
concerned
as
he
was
over
avoiding
publicity
;
he
had
no
fear
of
Sohlberg
physically
.
