She was visiting Nutley in pursuance of her plan of doing, if not that undiscoverable obvious, yet the more sensible thing--of preventing the "row" and, incidentally thereto, of finding out "what the woman really wanted." Here was the woman. Whatever she might really want, apparently she was very far from having got it yet.
