Truth now glimmered upon the mind of Julia, but so faintly, that instead of enlightening, it served only to increase her perplexity. At length the marquis, who came with food, quitted the cell, and relocked the door, when Julia stole forth from her hiding-place. The marchioness again embraced, and wept over her daughter. The narrative of her sufferings, upon which she now entered, entirely dissipated the mystery which had so long enveloped the southern buildings of the castle. No. Lars was firm. Johnny must go to the library..

Emilia and Madame de Menon, surprised at this procedure, awaited the issue in silent expectation. “Yes,” he said slowly, “it looks possible to me. Better’n that, Bob, it looks mighty lucky.
