Chapter III
Coventry told him all he knew and surmised concerning his friend, not forgetting the letter. Edward mused a moment, then seemed relieved, and said frankly, “I’m glad it’s Sydney and not you. I can bear it better.” “Me!” ejaculated Gerald, with a laugh. “Yes, you; I’ve been tormented lately with a fear that you cared for her, or rather, she for you.”
