There was nothing she could say, "It wasn't what I expected," he went on. What else had Peter told him? "Wasn't there any other way?" he aeked "I didn't send him home. He—he chose to go," she said. "Because it wasn't any use for him to remain?" "I told him the truth," she nodded. "And he took it like a man!" ex- claimed Monte enthusiastically.

What else besides his going had Peter told Monte? "It was his letter that brought me back," he said.
