"I'm coming," Emmy said, not looking round.
"There's a message," the maid went on. "There's something--somebody--sure, here's a new letter for you--don't be reading them old ones any more." And she gave her a letter, which Emmy took, and read.
"I must see you," the letter said. "Dearest Emmy--dearest love--dearest wife, come to me."
George and her mother were outside, waiting until she had read the letter.
