"Rufus said she did, but out of consideration for the children he had the decency not to put that into the confession. I believe she knew all the time, and is glad she killed him."
"Does she ever allude to him?"
"No. She's settled down to her old lazy life, eating sweets and reading novels. I don't think she'll ever mention his name till her dying day. And Gerty T. knows nothing about it. I hear Mrs. Baldwin's going to sell her land and move further into town; but she never will. When Gerty T. and I return from the States we'll find her in the old shanty. By the way, she's pulled down the professor's house."
"To get rid of all memories connected with the case, I suppose. Well, I'm glad it's ended. It was terrible."
"Arnold, are you coming?"
This was from the bride. Afterwards the happy pair departed for a honeymoon on the Continent, and discussed their future plans. "You must let me furnish the house, dear," said Laura; "I have such taste."
"You have; you chose me to be your husband. But don't have a White Room."
"I never will," said Laura. "Arnold, never mention that place again."
And Arnold never did. So after all the trouble came the peace and calm, and the two, happy in one another, soon forgot the terrible case. The public also forgot it, and the White Room itself has disappeared.
