However, in the case of Sohlberg, detectives were employed, the new affair with the flighty pupil was unearthed and sworn to by witnesses, and this, combined with the "lettahs" held by Rita, constituted ample material wherewith to "hush up" the musician if ever he became unduly obstreperous. So Cowperwood and Rita's state was quite comfortable.
Sohlberg was being inoculated with the virus Cowperwood, and it was taking deadly effect. The tendency of her own disposition, however lethargic it might seem, once it was stirred emotionally, was to act. She was essentially dynamic and passionate. Cowperwood was beginning to stand out in her mind as the force that he was. It would be wonderful to be loved by such a man.
"I am so sorry about this unfortunate business," said Cowperwood, coming in with brisk assurance. "I never knew my wife to become so strangely unbalanced before. It was most fortunate that I arrived when I did. I certainly owe you both every amend that can be made. I sincerely hope, Mrs. Sohlberg, that you are not seriously injured.
For the moment it left Aileen actually stunned and breathless. The significance of Rita Sohlberg to her in this hour was greater than that of any woman before or after. Of all living things, women dread women most of all, and of all women the clever and beautiful.
I'm not any more, I think." "It is so plain why," he commented. "You are so much more wonderful than your place gives you scope for. You are an individual, not an acolyte to swing a censer for another. Mr. Sohlberg is very interesting, but you can't be happy that way. It surprises me you haven't seen it." "Oh," she exclaimed, with a touch of weariness, "but perhaps I have."

"It's very good, I think," commented Mrs. Sohlberg, and moved away. "How do you like this Israels?" he asked. It was the painting called "The Frugal Meal." "But I think your old masters are much more interesting.
At this time she was still interested in Sohlberg, but in a harmlessly flirtatious way. She thought he might be interesting physically, but would he be as delightful as Cowperwood? Never! When she felt that Cowperwood himself might be changing she pulled herself up at once, and when Antoinette appeared the carriage incident Sohlberg lost his, at best, unstable charm.
She needs rest. Go on down-town and come and see me to-morrow or if you want to go back I will go with you. I want to say to Mrs. Sohlberg what I have said to you. But remember what I've told you." "Nau, thank you," replied Sohlberg, feebly. "I will go down-town. Good night." And he hurried away. "I'm sorry," said Cowperwood to himself, defensively. "It is too bad, but it was the only way."
"Do you see these?" he continued. "I am going to save you the trouble of further investigation, Mr. Sohlberg. Every word that Mrs. Cowperwood said to-night and I am saying this with a full understanding of what this means to you and to me is true. She is no more insane than I am. Your wife has been living in an apartment with me on the North Side for months, though you cannot prove that.
