"To me, yes. To my mother, no. Afraid lest such an accusation should kill my mother, who is not strong as you know, I said nothing to her, or indeed to anyone. I told a lie to you to save my mother; what else could I do? But now I tell you the truth, and I wish you to protect us both against the evil of Dido and Dr. Etwald."

"Yis. It ole Dido," she said. "But ole Dido not lost. Dat great massa, he look after ole Dido." "Well," said Jen, seeing that the man spoke in all good faith, "the body of Mr. Maurice was stolen on that night." A good-natured, whole-some looking young man in the clothes of a calendar, with a patch on his right eye, laid aside his long-necked lute and rose with a bow.

My study was almost done, and I forgot all about it after that.".
