I wanted again to introduce the subject of Grace Poole, and to hear what he would answer; I wanted to ask him plainly if he really believed it was she who had made last night's hideous attempt; and if so, why he kept her wickedness a secret.
Era preciso preguntarle sobre Grace para ver lo que respondía; era preciso preguntarle francamente si creía que era la culpable del odioso atentado de la noche anterior y, en tal caso, por qué deseaba guardar el secreto.
