You've all said so, all but just you." She faced John squarely, but John dropped his head; he could not meet her eye. "You think so, too," she continued. "You've got to think so, because," she stepped close up to him, "because the awful part of it is that it was just me-or her!" She raised her hand slowly, pointing at Lola.

Excerpt: ...wish to God you'd left me where I was." "Mon Dieu!" cried Dr. Crossett. "What is a man to think?" "You all believe I done it," went on Maria, "don't you?
