I had my chance to save
her. I went to her as the woman told me to, and because she was quiet, I
didn't even turn her over. I didn't run a finger across her little head. I
didn't call a surgeon. I preferred an hour of pleasure to taking the risk
of being disturbed. I am quite as guilty as Lucette! Have them take me
with her."
James Minturn stepped back, gazing at his wife. Then he motioned the men
toward the door, so with the woman they left the room.
"Lucette just had her sentence," he said, "now for yours! Words are
useless! I am leaving your house with my sons. They _are_ my sons, and
with the proof I hold, you will not claim them. If you do, you will not
get them. I am taking them to the kind of a house I deem suitable for
them, and to such care as I can provide. I shall keep them in my presence
constantly as possible until I see just what harm has been done, and how
to remedy what can be changed. I shall provide such teachers as I see fit
for them, and devote the remainder of my life to them.
