"Listen, then, and I shall explain," resumed the major, with growing excitement. "I firmly believe that Etwald stole the devil-stick, and with it killed Maurice." "Well, sir, let me hear of what I am accused." "Nor I," said Isabella. "The major is a kind man, and he wants to see me happy. He is--".

It only needed that she should be removed from the bad influence of the barbaric Sybil to render her nature healthy and fill her life with pleasure.
