Do you ever stop
to think what kind of a man you might have been, if all your life you had
been forced and influenced as Nellie was?"
"Good Lord!" cried Mr. Minturn.
"Exactly!" agreed Leslie. "That's what I'm telling you! She had got to the
realization of the fact that her life had been husks and ashes; so she
went to beg you to help her to a better way, and you failed her. I'm not
saying it was your fault; I'm not saying I blame you; I'm merely stating
facts."
"Margaret blames me!" said Mr. Minturn. "She thinks I'm enough at fault
that I never can find happiness until I locate Nellie and learn whether
she is with her mother and friends, or if she really meant what she said
about changing, enough to go ahead and be different from principle."
"Her change was radical and permanent."
"I've got to know," said Mr. Minturn, "but I've no faith in her ability to
change, and no desire to meet her if she has."
"Humph!" said Leslie. "That proves that you need some changing yourself."
"I certainly do," said James Minturn.
