Joan faltered. 'Don't get angry, Elizabeth, only listen; I don't know how to say it, you paralyse me, I'm afraid of you!'

'Afraid of me?'

'Yes, of you; terribly, horribly afraid of you and of myself Elizabeth, it's my mother; I don't see how I can leave her, now that Milly's gone. Wait; you've no idea how helpless she is. She seems ill and we never keep a servant, these days, what would she do all alone in the house? She depends so much on me; why, since Father's death she can't even keep the tradesmen's books in order, and with no one to look after her I think she'd ruin herself, she seems to have lost all idea about money. We must wait just a little longer in any case, say a year. Elizabeth, don't look like that! Perhaps she'll pull herself together, I don't know; all I know is that I can't come now -' She paused, catching her breath.
