Quotation from: The Whole Family: A Novel by Twelve Authors

Written by: Henry James and Others


"Oh, come now; we're making a lot of fuss about nothing. There's a very
simple way out of all this. Alice says Goward's still at the hotel.
I'll just run down there and explain, and ask him to whom that letter
belongs."


Then I was at the door, and I HAD to open it and go out. The voices
went on inside for a few minutes, but soon I saw Tom come out and I
went to him and slipped my arm inside of his and walked with him across
the lawn and out to the sidewalk. I don't very often like the things
Tom says, but I thought it was clever of him to think of going to ask
Harry Goward about the letter, and I told him so to encourage him. He
thanked me very politely, and then he stopped and braced his back
against the lamp-post on the corner and "fixed me with a stern gaze,"
as writers say.
