Thank you. And don't say I've been here, will you? He's very suspicious. You see, he knows that his father has re-sold that land to you; that's what he can't make out--that, and my coming here this morning; he knows something's being kept from him; and he noticed that man with Dawker yesterday. And my maid's been spying on me. It's in the air. He puts two and two together. But I've told him there's nothing he need worry about; nothing that's true. (HILLCRIST: What a coil!) I'm very honest and careful about money. So he won't believe that about me, and the old man wants to keep it from Charlie, I know. (HILLCRIST: That does seem the best way out.) (With a touch of defiance) I'm a true wife to him.
