Explore "The Veiled Man" by Ambrose Pratt on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Cawthorne went to see his cousin, but not immediately. He had sufficient consideration to wait until the veiled man dined. He did not eat a morsel himself. He confessed his crime in three sentences: "I have told her everything, John. I could not help myself. You see, I love her."
The veiled man understood him perfectly and if he was annoyed at Cawthorne's breach of faith, he did not show it. "You look unhappy," he remarked.
