Excerpt from Ruth: A Novel, Vol. 2 of 3

If she suspects, we had far better tell her the truth, at once. She will never rest till she finds it out, so we must make a virtue of necessity.

Well, brother, you shall tell her then, for I am sure I daren't. I don't mind doing the thing, since you talked to me that day, and since I've got to know Ruth, but I do mind all the clatter people will make about it.
