"No; that is not the answer." "Why?" said Etwald, with an agreeable smile. "There are two opinions about that. Mine is that I shall go free.

It was clearly impossible to learn anything from so obstinate a creature, so Jen repeated that he would call upon Isabella on the morrow, and dismissed the negress. As she left the room Dr. Etwald followed her, and on his return mentioned casually that he had been giving Dido some instructions as to what was to be done with Isabella.
