"I am going to move heaven and earth to clear Kathleen from this vile suspicion that she is in some way responsible for Sinclair Spencer's death."

Of all things, hasty criticisms are to be regretted." Yet there was one person who read Herbert Spencer's first book with close consideration and profound sympathy.
