Later, when Mrs. Dale has retired for the night, Elvira secretly watches the husband search the room and discover a letter from the artist, requesting an interview for the following afternoon. She then informs her mistress, who is thus enabled to write a note of refusal which is purposely permitted to get into Mr. Dale's possession. This note entirely restores Mr. Dale's confidence in his wife, but he spends his fury upon poor innocent Elvira, who cannot explain, for that would incriminate her mistress. So after bidding the latter a tender farewell, the girl leaves in disgrace, but with a secret reward of money and eternal gratitude from the woman whose happiness she so loyally guarded. Written by
