Mildred exclaimed, her anger drying her tears. "I suppose not! You never have any sympathy for me, no matter how hard things are for me! "You can pity Arthur because his father's ill, yet you can't pity me when Arthur gets angry with me. Why is he here, anyway? Why didn't he stay at home if his father is as sick as you people say he is?" "His father died two hours ago." The words were said in a low voice, but Mildred startled as if she had been struck by a whip. "Dead!" she gasped. "Dead!" "Yes," Honora went on merciless ly.
