'Miss Candice?' There was a knock at the door, and Candy recognized the voice, despite the fact that she had not seen this girl for a long time. It was Dorothy, a servant from the Legan house.
'Is it you, Dorothy?' Miss White asked with a hoarse voice to make sure.
'Yes. I've come to…'
Candy rushed to the door, opened it and dragged the bewildered servant inside.
'Dorothy, Dorothy, honey, you have to help me,' she whispered feverishly. 'Dorothy, I need to do something, I do not have anyone, absolutely no one to consult, Dorothy…'
Poor Candy could not get up the nerve and tell about everything in order. The thought that she might lose her beloved because of this misunderstanding made her to panic. What if Neil had already seen this letter? And waiting for explanations?
And if he did not see, what is better, tell him or not? And how to explain that she had nothing to do with it? Oh my God, she was so afraid of a letter from Terry, but here it is!
Dorothy understood the Miss White's excitement quite differently.
She arrived just after hearing about the engagement and as soon as she could find a plausible excuse, broke out of the Legan's house in Lakewood. She must at least to try to save this kind girl from this terrible host's son.
Dorothy knew too well who Daniel Legan was in his childhood.
'Calm down, Candice, calm down,' she mumbled, embracing a trembling girl. 'We'll figure something out!'
'Yes-yes, look,' Candy handed a crumpled sheet of paper to the maid.
'It's a letter!' Dorothy ran the lines with her eyes. 'Interesting, Terrence Granchester is a famous actor.'
'We loved each other,' Candy whispered.
' Excellent!' The maid jumped up. 'He writes that he will help you! You will be able to escape!'
'E-escape? Where?' Miss White looked at her inappropriately.
'There no matter where! He will think up. The main thing, away from this beast.'
Candy stood up too, feeling that she began to tremble.
'From what beast?' She asked defiantly.
Dorothy shook her head, understanding absolutely nothing.
'Well…' She looked at the white face of the future potential housewife and continued uncertainly. 'From Mr. Daniel Legan.'
'What is happening!' Candy shouted, tearing the letter from the dumbfounded maid's hands. 'Do you all have conspired or what? ! Why do you all, all wish me evil? Go away, go, until I beat you!'
Dorothy stepped back in fright, as she never saw Miss White in this condition.
'Go away, go away!' Candy shouted, closing the door, and bursting into sobs. Everyone's against her, and absolutely nobody wants to help her!
And everybody in the house must have heard her screams, now they will come, and…
And Neil will come too.
The girl began to shred the letter to small pieces, trying to calm down.
