I read to him portions of your letter, and he is of opinion that you might get what he calls a judicial separation. Come and consult him." THIRD CORRESPONDENT: "YOU know, my dear Mrs. Macallan, what my experience of men has been. Your letter does not surprise me in the least. Your husband's conduct to you points to one conclusion. He is in love with some other woman.
Macallan had a most violent temper. But she was certainly in the habit of making amends for the offense that she gave by her violence. When she was quiet again she always made her excuses to me, and she made them with a good grace. Her manners were engaging at such times as these. She spoke and acted like a well-bred lady. Then, again, as to her personal appearance.
I have no ambition to be an author." The clerk, who was very taciturn in general, and seldom spoke unless on points connected with his duty, joined the conversation by addressing the surgeon. "It's a service of danger, sir, and you must be prepared to meet the attacks both of authors and reviewers." "Of reviewers I can imagine," replied Macallan; "but why of authors?"
Eustace Macallan had died by the hand of a poisoner although they were entirely and certainly mistaken in charging my husband with the crime. My husband being innocent, somebody else, on my own showing, must be guilty. Who among the persons inhabiting the house at the time had poisoned Mrs. Eustace Macallan? My suspicion in answering that question pointed straight to a woman.
Did nothing else take place at that interview? Did Mrs. All we know is that Mrs. Beauly said nothing about it. What does the under-gardener say? He heard a conversation between Mr. Macallan and Mrs. Beauly, which shows that the possibility of Mrs. Beauly becoming Mrs.

Any persons who disturb me, under existing circumstances, will do it at the peril of their lives. Mrs. Macallan looked around at me quietly with her sardonic smile.
"And so is a pinch of snuff in the eye, I can assure you," replied Macallan. "Granted; but we must `give and take, doctor." "In the present case, I don't care how much you take, provided you don't give," rejoined Macallan, recovering his good humour. A messenger from Captain M , who desired to speak with Macallan, put an end to the conversation.
"Goneril and Regan!" he cried. "My two unnatural daughters, my she-devil children come to mock at me!" "Nothing of the sort," said my mother-in-law, as quietly as if she were addressing a perfectly reasonable being. "I am your old friend, Mrs. Macallan; and I have brought Eustace Macallan's second wife to see you."
I had a little talk with him while you were away at the other end of the room, and I believe he really can be of use to me " "Of use to you in what?" interposed my mother-in-law. "In the one object which I have in view the object, dear Mrs. Macallan, which I regret to say you do not approve."
"I did think of such a thing," I answered. "But after what you have said, dear Mrs. Macallan, I give up the idea, of course. It is not a great sacrifice it only obliges me to wait a week for Major Fitz-David's dinner-party. He has promised to ask Miserrimus Dexter to meet me." "There is the Major all over!" cried the old lady. "If you pin your faith on that man, I pity you.
