"My dear young lady," he remonstrated, "why distress yourself with recollections of these things?" CHAPTER XXIV. A FINAL SURPRISE. "Wait," replied Maurice, in the same tone. "I shall not let him think that either of us is afraid of his charlatan tricks.".

"And what did you do?" asked Jen, much interested in this strange history. That she did not desire Maurice for a son-in-law was an insufficient motive for the commission of a triple crime. She had declined to sanction the engagement; she had forbidden Maurice the house; and, assisted upon all points by social rules, she had ample power to prevent the match, which, as she averred, was distasteful to her. Why, then, with this power, should she jeopardize liberty and life by thieving the devil-stick and killing the man? In his perplexity, Jen sought out David and asked his opinion. The young lawyer gave a very decided verdict in favor of Mrs. Dallas. "Well, Dido can do nothing," said Maurice, in a jesting tone, "unless you want her to forbid the banns." David gave an answering squeeze that brought the tears to her eyes, as he whispered in return, "That's all right, old lady. Don't you fret about me.".
