Waythorn made no answer. He remembered distinctly that, after that
first visit, he had asked his wife if she had seen Haskett. She had
lied to him then, but she had respected his wishes since; and the
incident cast a curious light on her character. He was sure she
would not have seen Haskett that first day if she had divined that
Waythorn would object, and the fact that she did not divine it was
almost as disagreeable to the latter as the discovery that she had
lied to him.
