"I did not know it, major. As I said before, his confession took me by surprise. Still, as I was innocent, I knew that I could not be hanged." For a whole week after the events already related, nothing new took place likely to alter the situation. Maurice and David remained coldly polite, and very watchful of one another; neither mentioned the name of Isabella, nor did the one or the other see the girl. Mrs. Dallas took care of that. Acting, no doubt, under the advice of Dido (for she had no will of her own), she kept Isabella within doors, and refused to allow her to communicate with Maurice.

"H'm; it's queer! I'll have to think it over. But when the body was taken out of the window, Arkel?" "Not yet. Dido," he said, in a cold voice. "It is true that I called to see your mistress; but I wish to speak to you also." "We shall see," replied Jen, who was as obstinate as a mule on some points. "I am no fool." "The very thing, Miss Pat," she agreed radiantly. "I'll look up the number for you.".
