"Don't," cried Isabella, with a shudder. "You have done enough evil. Do not add perjury to your other sins." "I hope he doesn't," said Patricia, warmly. "For then you'll have to stay longer with us. And we're going to have such a good time!" "He did not see it taken out of the house," explained Arkel, referring to some notes which he held in his hand, "but he saw it put into the carriage."
