Lord Ingleby gave it to me." "Lord Ingleby?" Jim Airth's voice sounded like knitted brows. "Why not Lady Ingleby?" "It was not hers, to give. All that is hers, was his." "I see. Which of them did you know first?"
"When I send you away for your rest-cure, Lady Ingleby with her worries and questionings, doubts and fears, must be left behind.
