There is no telling, just as you say, what people would be whispering about her, nor what disgraceful tricks she would get the credit of playing on her husband." "My daughter, I was only about to tell you " "Yes, and you put it quite unanswerably.
Have I not got forty million brothers?" he asked himself, unanswerably victorious in the silence of his breast.
