She tried to think very coolly and collectedly, but her brain felt numb and fogged and heavy. The sight of that tortured candle flame hypnotized her. Faintly she whispered, "Then it was all an excuse," and, at that, sharp terror, like a knife, cleaved her numbness. She turned furiously to her visitor. "But he would not dare make it all up!"
