Temple was feeling just a little irritated and puzzled. In her quaint, innocent way this girl seemed to take everything for granted. She made the announcement that she was aware of the persecution of Lady Silverdale by John Gilray as if it had been the most natural thing in the world. There was no confusion or hesitation, just a confession of her knowledge and no more.
It was impossible for Temple to refrain from wondering if she was as innocent as she looked. And yet her gaze was clear and childlike. She looked into his face calmly and steadily. There was no guile about her.
