"I will write to Andy," she said. "I will tell him how thoughts of him

almost deterred me from my purpose," and opening her little writing

desk, which Richard gave her at Christmas, she took up her pen and held

it poised a moment, while something said: "Write to Richard, too. Surely

you can do so much for him. You can tell him the truth at last, and let

him know how he misjudged you."

And so the name which Ethie first wrote down upon the paper was not

"Dear Brother Andy," but simply that of "Richard."
