Rex was very weak but his mind was clear. The eye was gone, and if he remembered it he never spoke of it, but lay very quiet and seemed very happy when Rena was with him, as she was every day. He never mentioned Irene, but Rena told him at last of Johnnie's death, and gave him Irene's note, which he read and then put under his pillow, saying: "I am sorry for her, and there's nothing to forgive. Tell her so when you write."
That was all, and Tom felt sure that the chapter of Rex's life as connected with Irene was closed. "But she will try to reopen it," he said to Rena. "She'll be coming here. You'll see."
