"Why? What can he have to say to my mother?" cried Isabella, in surprise. Toward the morning Jen slept for an hour or so, and when he rose and had taken his bath he felt much refreshed, and ready to face Etwald at this final interview. At eleven o'clock Mrs. Dallas arrived with Isabella, the latter looking wan and ill. Even had the major not promised to be silent, he could not have brought himself to tell the poor girl the truth at that moment. After all, she was perfectly innocent, and had committed the crime unwittingly. Dido was the culprit, not Isabella; and the major felt a profound pity for the miserable girl, who had been made a tool of by the unscrupulous negress and the evil-minded Etwald. Elinor reared her head with dignity. "He was very kind and friendly to us," she explained to their companion, "because he had been very much devoted to my aunt, who left us the house where we now live. He had no mother and Aunt Louise was very fond of him.".

The door clicked behind them and they set their faces to the sunset, and Greycroft, and home. "It's not fair, till Elinor comes, too!" she protested hotly. "Wait, they'll be back. I'll call them." "Der noting wrong, missy," said Dido, eagerly. "I swear--" "It was a blind, sir; and when she left the room I don't believe she left the house.".
