CHAPTER TWELVE

She wished fervently as she tidied herself for tea, that she had never sought that interview with Allegra. They had, it was true, got down to brass tacks, and Allegra, by admitting her serious financial difficulties had, to a certain extent, put herself in Stella’s hands. Yet—had she? How could she, Stella, go to Jim and blurt out, “Your precious Allegra’s only marrying you because she’s up to her neck in debt. She’s just told me so!” Allegra might have to own up to her unpaid bills, but she would certainly deny most vehemently that they had any connection with her acceptance of Jim as a husband. The chief result, indeed, would be a mild reproof from Jim to a tearful and apparently penitent Allegra on the folly of running into debt—and a chivalrous determination on his part to put things right for her. As far as Stella was concerned, she would be regarded by everyone who heard the story as a malicious tale bearer in whom Allegra had been most unwise to confide.
