"And you are nearly tired to death," said Mr. Owen. "Susan, you ought not to have allowed Miss Graystone to overwork herself."
And she said it in a tone which makes me wince as I recall it now. I called my partner's address up through the tube. Again that frightful silence, then she was trying to choke back the sobs.
