She loved him. She was his wife, and when he went to her it was with the feeling that only a serpent lay in the path of their paradise a serpent which he would crush with as little compunction as that serpent would have destroyed her. Utterly and remorselessly his mind was made up. The Blacktons' supper hour was five-thirty, and he was a quarter of an hour late when he tapped at Joanne's door.
