While the important person was reading the letter in her bedroom, another important person suddenly came in. She did not want this person to see the letter. She tried to hide it in a drawer, but there was no time. So he had to leave the letter on a table.
“Then Minister D------- came into the room. He has eyes like a cat. He immediately noticed the letter, and he knew the handwriting on it. He saw that the woman looked worried and nervous. He guessed her secret. He talked and acted as usual, and took another letter out of his pocket. It was similar to the one on the table. He put this letter next to the one on the table and talked for another fifteen minutes. Then he picked up the other letter and left.
“The owner of the letter clearly saw him do it. But she could not say anything because of the … other person in the room.”
