[The Upas Tree by Florence L. Barclay]@TWC D-Link bookThe Upas Tree CHAPTER XVII 6/12
I have gone home to the Grange.
I believe, when I am by myself in the house where we spent the three years I thought so perfect and so happy, I shall find out what is the matter; I shall get to the very root of the Upas tree. "I know I somehow hurt you horribly on the night I reached home, by asking you to come to the studio to hear me play my 'cello; but, before God, I haven't the faintest idea why! "You would not have said what you did, had you known I was ill; but neither would you have said it, unless it had been true.
If it was true then, it is true now.
