Explore "Mrs. Balfame" by Gertrude Atherton on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
At the inquest on the following day, Mrs. Balfame, circumvested in crepe, sat between Mr. and Mrs. Cummack, gracefully erect, and without even a nervous flutter of the hands.
When called upon to testify, she told in a clear low voice the meagre story already known to her friends and by this time the common property of Elsinore and all that read the newspapers of the State.
