"I'll go and " "No'm," said Adelia. "You don' need to.
Indeed, in a moment of candour she had owned to herself the very last Sunday in church that she wouldn't mind if the story were true. "I'll I'll think of it," she said. This was practically an acceptance, and Young Thomas so understood it. Without loss of time he crossed the kitchen, sat down beside Adelia, and put his arms about her plump waist.

Nevertheless, in view of Julius's circumstantial statements, the amazing news must be true, and Dan was instantly agog to carry it further.

You might tell me, your own and only sister, if it is." "Oh, shut up," was Young Thomas's unfeeling reply to his own and only sister. Young Thomas told himself that night that Valley View gossip would drive him into an asylum yet if it didn't let up. He also wondered if Adelia was as much persecuted as himself. No doubt she was.
