The next morning Kate went to visit her father. She found him, as always, deep in a book. She told him of the week's events, leaving out the intimate details concerning Matthew.

“Richard Lindsay,” her father knit his brows, “Richard Lindsay. The name sounds familiar. It rings a bell.” He leaned back in his armchair and drew on the pipe in his hand. “I'll make a few telephone calls and find out something about him. And now, tell me about this young Camedon.”

“What about him?” asked Kate, trying to put him off.

“Between the lines, I get the impression you've taken a fancy to him.”

“Oh, yes. I like him alot, father, and even more than that. But how can I look him in the eye after all that's happened? I'm so ashamed. He's angry with me and I can't blame him,” she added sorrowfully, “he has every reason to feel that way.”

Her father smiled encouragingly. “Matters don't seem as black as all that, child. If that's what he thinks of you, why should he go out of his way to help Jemina? Perhaps you are dearer to him and more important than you think.”

Kate felt a spark of hope. Was it possible that Matthew's feelings were strong enough to forgive the injustice she had done him, to give their relationship another chance? She felt a sudden happiness wash over her. Even if there were only a chance in a million, she would go to Bellewoodplain and try to make Matthew experience once again what he had briefly felt for her.

In the afternoon she began to work on the draft of her book and found to her delight that for the first time in weeks she was able to concentrate. Emma planned to spend the afternoon and evening with John and Kate didn't expect her back until the early hours of the morning.

Her father called in the evening. “I have news that will interest you,” he said without preamble. “Richard Lindsay was expelled from the college after he was caught sniffing cocaine on the university premises. After a thorough investigation it was eatablished that he had faked his high school grades, which were the basis of his acceptance to the college. He was judged and the punishment meted out was a large fine and three years probation. He left Oxford and since then the college has heard nothing from him.”

“Thank you, father, this information is very important.”

“You're welcome, my dear.”

Kate again felt the block in her throat. Over and over again she heard herself blaming Matthew for his lack of compassion and decency, his cruelty and severity. If he never spoke to her again, she would understand. She wrote Emma a message asking her to find out Matthew's mobile number. She would call him, thank him for all his help and beg his forgiveness. Kate hoped he would listen to her although she knew he would most likely be aloof and indifferent. She would feel better if she could tell him directly how sorry she was for all that had happened.
