She grasped the gilded edge of the great mirror tightly, the room seemed
to sway, yes, she could see him—that rat-like face. As a drowning man
sees his life flash before him, so she saw that long silver lane leading
back through the past to the ugly house at the crossroads. Wild rides,
drunken men, state troopers, an accident—then a visit to her Uncle’s
farm to “behave herself.” Even there—gamblers, crooks, then death! Could
she bear to lose Allan’s love by telling him her awful story? It was her
wedding day, but there was that rat-like face in the mirror. Should she
tell Allan? Would he understand?
