Her discourses, which he could not help hearing, continued actively and unceasingly. At last Mrs. Gunnison darted restless glances about.
She had already begun to stir uneasily in her chair.
Miriam suddenly veered round upon him.
"I want to tell you something," she almost whispered.
"What I said-what I tried to say this afternoon was true."
He looked at her with fixed earnestness.
"Oh!" she cried, passionately.
"I can't bear to have you study me as if I were a specimen of something-of mendacity, you think. But no matter about that. You must believe me.
Don't you?"
"How can I," he answered, slowly, "with--"
"With my reputation," she caught up, quickly, as he paused. "Do not try to spare me-now. Can't you hear-can't you see, now, that I am speaking the truth?"
He gazed at her without answering.
"Oh, I can read in your eyes that you do not. I want you to believe me. Can't you believe-even that?"
He shook his head half smilingly.
