"God Almighty! he shall answer to me for this. I'll go back and take a horsewhip with me." "For my sake, don't have a scene with him. It would only make matters worse," she pleaded.
It had come ten days ago, and she herself knew it by heart. How many, many times she had read it! She had cried over the wistful cry in it, and over Amelia's death for the letter said that Amelia was dead.
