"Nothing." "That's sensible!" approved Madelene. "If Ross really loves you, then, whether he can have you or not, he'll free himself from Theresa. He simply couldn't go on with her. And if you really care for him, then, when Dory comes home he'll free you." "That ought to be so," said Adelaide, not seeing the full meaning of Madelene's last words. "But it isn't.
"Come out of here, I say!" By main strength he was drawing his wife toward the door. Tess was staring at them as if they were creatures from another world. "I'm sorry," Frederick said directly over Madelene's head to her. "Dreadfully sorry." "Sorry!" shrieked Madelene. "Sorry for such a woman! Look what you've done to me, both of you!"
Fred, run into the office in about an hour, I want to talk to you." Frederick brightened. "And I want to talk to you," he answered. He swung to Madelene's side, drew a long breath and made a quick resolution that before long he would make his confession to Ebenezer. At the appointed time, Frederick entered Waldstricker's office. He'd resolved to make a clean breast of his marriage to Tess.
But the earnestness in Madelene's voice made her father and her sister feel that to tease her further would be impertinent. Arthur had said he would not call until the next week because then he would be at work again. He went once more to Dr. Schulze's, but was careful to go in office hours.
"She won't learn it from me," promised Ebenezer. "Nor from me," agreed Frederick. "I've no wish to have a whining woman hanging to my neck." Waldstricker muttered an oath under his breath. "Well, of all the contemptible pups in the world!" he snorted. "Talk of ingratitude! Here's a girl, a good girl, too, and Madelene's that " "No one said she wasn't," snapped Graves.
"Even Madelene," thought she, "who has not a glance for other people's affairs, knows how it is between Dory and me." It was Madelene's turn to be repentant and apologetic. "I didn't mean quite that," she stammered. "Of course I know you care for Dory " The tears came to Del's eyes and the high color to her cheeks. "You needn't make excuses," she cried. "It's the truth. I don't care in that way."
He got Lorry's permission to tell Madelene; and when she had the whole story he said, "You see its message to us?" And Madelene's softly shining eyes showed that she did, even before her lips had the chance to say, "We certainly have no respectable excuse for waiting." "As soon as mother gets the office done," suggested Arthur.
