No Other Way

True - quite true, my dear lady. There is, there can be, no] defense. Unhappily, and I use the word solely in its application to you, Mr. Waverton seems to have welcomed rather than evaded the petition. His lawyers have accepted service, and there the mat ter rests. I assure you I am thinking wholly of your interests, and of your position in that very world of gossip and slander which cares so little for the rights and wrongs of these domestic upheavals. Come, now - take a calm view of the facts! Mr. Waverton is lying at Palm Beach with a sprained wrist and a severe scalp wound, the outcome of an automobile smash. His condition will certainly be mentioned in court, and in any event it will be referred to by the newspapers. It is an unfortunate occurrence at this crisis in your affairs; but I should fail in my duty if I did not point out that you risk the loss of public sympathy, Whatever its value may be, by appearing against him this week.
