Chapter XX
IN THE PHILIPPINES David Cable lost no time in hurrying away from Chicago with his wife and Jane. They were whisked westward in his private car on the second day after the Bansemer exposure. Broken-spirited, Jane acquiesced in all their plans; she seemed as one in a stupor, comprehending, yet unresponsive to the pain that enveloped her. "I can't see anyone that I know here," she said listlessly. "Oh, the thought of what they are saying!"
