The Green Bungalow by Fred M. White

Fishbourne went back home fully resolved to carry out all that Blythe had said, and contented himself with announcing that Harley had merely gone off for a day or two on his yacht. This he could not give chapter and verse for, but he professed himself quite to believe the story, though for perhaps the first time in his life he was deliberately misleading his wife. Nettie, however, was not disposed to share this sanguine view. There was no reason whatever why Roy should not have written to her, and she listened to what was being said in the privacy of one of the small drawing rooms with a certain amount of misgiving.

Had she known of the interview between Fishbourne and Blythe, she might have been happier.
