htr discourses, Mrs. Frayd's letters
were limited, and the sheet • Derry -

how much it seemed to contain:
"Dear Miss,—a cousin of my dear
departed frayd's" (the mistress of
tiarrack's had become Mrs. Pickett
now, but Derry never thought of her
but as Mrs. Frayd) "is home from

was alone now, making a feint of

The sentence was rather short b
need to be broken by a gasp.
"There is somebody -- • X think
