I believe that what you said in regard to Mrs.Comegys was the fact." "It certainly was.

But then, it will do no good to make a disturbance about it.

What has made me call in to see you is this; some one told me that, in consequence of this matter, you had dropped the acquaintance of Mrs.Comegys." "It is true; I cannot associate on intimate terms with a woman who lacks honest principles." "But don't you see that this will bring matters to a head, and that I shall be placed in a very awkward position ?" "You are ready to adhere to your statement in regard to Mrs.
Comegys ?" "Oh, certainly; I have told nothing but the truth.

But still, you can see that it will make me feel exceedingly unpleasant." "Things of this kind are never very agreeable, I know, Mrs.Grimes.
Still we must act as we think right, let what will follow.

Mrs.
Comegys has already called upon me to ask an explanation of my conduct wards her." "She has!" Mrs.Grimes seemed sadly distressed.
