Mr. Dick's Revelation

035. Sixth Sense.


"Miss Betsey," Mr. Dick stammered, looking very guilty. Miss Betsey frowned, lay down her paper, and looked at him sternly. "Well, Dick, what is it?"

"I – I think I have discovered something I oughtn't have, and…and I don't know what to do, you know."

"No, sir, I don't know, unless you tell me," Miss Betsey returned, looking as if she were about to resume her reading.

"Ah, well, it is only that, I think Miss Wickfield don't want anyone to know that she is in love with Trotwood, but I see that she is, and so I DO know. I can't help it, you see."

Miss Betsey put down her paper again, and uttered a sigh. "Do not worry, Mr. Dick. You are not the only one who knows."

"Does…does Trotwood know, then?" Mr. Dick ventured, hopefully.

"That is the trouble, Mr. Dick. I am afraid he is the only one who doesn't!"
