"You have left your husband because of me my poor child?" Karen nodded. Mr. Drew's presence made speech impossible. "He made it too difficult for you?" Karen nodded again. "And you have come back to me." Madame von Marwitz summed it up rather than inquired. And then, after another pause, she folded Karen in her arms. The piercing question seemed answered.
