The Priceless Pearl
The Priceless Pearl

third, that of Miss Wellington, who did not write often; and last Pearl's thick typewritten budget.

  

     _Dear Uncle Anthony_: I know mother is writing her point of view      about this, and I want you to know the truth. I was there and      mother was not. Miss Exeter could not have helped what happened.

  

     If it was any of our faults it was Dolly's--not only for having      that kind of a thug to stay but for being as usual an hour late in      getting off, so that Miss Exeter thought they had gone. You can      imagine how I felt in seeing a great beast like Williams coming      up behind her and grabbing her like that. I let him know what I      thought, but I would like to have pasted him one on the jaw. I      wish you had been here. Mother is all wrong--a dreadful injustice      is being done a very wonderful woman. She is patient, but I don't      suppose she will stand much more. I wouldn't if I were her.

  

     Your affectionate nephew,

  

     DURLAND CONWAY

     _Dear Anthony_: I am sorry, after the trouble you took ["A lot you      are," he thought] that your priceless pearl will really have to      go. It has been an impossible situation from the first, but I have      loyally tried to carry it through for your sake--you
