She opened the door of her room. She went in and looked about her. “’Twas always my room,” she thought, walking about, lovingly touching the objects in it. This was her cell, this was her happiness. She knelt down by the bed, and she thanked God for her great content, and she said a special prayer for the woman who had taken one road and for the man who had taken another.
“God help them,” she said. She got up and went to her dressing-table, and from it she picked up the still unopened letter.
“I wonder why he never opened it? And she’s left this little Diary behind here. I expect she dropped it in her hurry. I’ll have to ask Mr. Cullen to deal with the matter.”
