But it is he who would destroy their father

Tom, having found out Maggie's liaisons with Phillip in the Red Deeps, demands she stop instantly or he will tell their father, whom the news will destroy.

She accepts his angry claim that the destruction would be her fault.

She accepts this without the least glimmer that the responsibility would actually be his.

Wheat and Tares, chapter 5.
