She had but one change of mood: either she would talk feverously, or sit in the gloomiest silence, now and then varied with a fit of abandoned weeping. Every time Dorothy came from Glaston, she would overwhelm her with questions which at first Dorothy could easily meet, for she spoke absolute fact when she said she knew nothing concerning her husband.
