I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place， a possible scandal. I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn(厩)。 “I wouldn't leave here out in the cold!” he said.
Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door.
