my dear! You startle me with that manner of yours  just let me finish out my sentence. If you'll say that, for reasons which must forever remain a secret, you decidedly and unchangeably give up all connection, all engagement with him (which, in fact, Edward's conduct has as good as put an end to), I'll go over to Woodchester and tell Mr. Henry and the police that they need not make further search after Edward, for that I won't appear against him.

I don't know what Mr. Henry will say to me, but I have thought of this. If you'll write a letter to Frank, just saying distinctly that, for reasons which must for ever remain a secret..." "Remain a secret from Frank?" said Maggie, again lifting up her head. "Why?" "Why?  WHAT HAS MISTER HENRY TO DO WITH ME MISTER BUXTON WAS STAGGERED BY THE WILD IMPERIOUS LOOK SO NEW UPON HER MILD SWEET FACE BUT HE WAS RESOLUTE FOR FRANK'S SAKE AND RETURNED TO THE CHARGE AFTER A MOMENT'S PAUSE MISTER HENRY IS A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE WHO HAS MY INTEREST AT HEART HE HAS KNOWN WHAT A SUBJECT OF REGRET YOUR ENGAGEMENT HAS BEEN TO ME THOUGH REALLY MY REPUGNANCE FOR IT WAS WITHOUT CAUSE FORMERLY COMPARED TO WHAT IT IS NOW NOW BE REASONABLE MY DEAR I'M WILLING TO DO SOMETHING FOR YOU IF YOU WILL DO SOMETHING FOR ME YOU MUST SEE WHAT A STOP THIS SAD AFFAIR HAS PUT TO ANY THOUGHTS BETWEEN YOU AND FRANK AND YOU MUST SEE WHAT CAUSE I HAVE TO WISH TO PUNISH EDWARD FOR HIS UNGRATEFUL BEHAVIOUR TO SAY NOTHING OF THE FORGERY WELL NOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT MISTER HENRY WILL SAY TO ME BUT I HAVE THOUGHT OF THIS IF YOU'LL WRITE A LETTER TO FRANK JUST SAYING DISTINCTLY THAT FOR REASONS WHICH MUST FOR EVER REMAIN A SECRET REMAIN A SECRET FROM FRANK SAID MAGGIE AGAIN LIFTING UP HER HEAD WHY WHY
