Chapter IX
_A Woman Scorned_ Jane afterward told us just what happened in that compartment of the carrier, and I think that for the continuity of my narration I had best relate it now. The cubby room was small, not much over six feet wide, and twelve feet long. There was a single small door to the corridor, and two small windows. A couch stood by them; there were two low chairs, and a small bench-like table. Tolla made Jane as comfortable as possible.
