Then she will fall down, be taken to the police station and to the hospital, she will die, and the children..." "Oh, no.... God will not let it be!" broke at last from Sonia's overburdened bosom.
You will forgive you will forgive me, won't you?" "I love you, dearest!" was all that I could reply; and it was the honest truth, direct from a heart overburdened by mystery and suspicion. Then with a last kiss I turned and left her, driving with Ambler Jevons to catch the London train.
