"Battersea!" cried Jen, thunderstruck. "Did he see the body carried off?" "Do you mean that Dido is in danger of arrest?" cried Mrs. Dallas, in a terrified tone. "No? And yet it is easy enough. If those who slew Mr. Alymer wanted his body, they could have stolen it on the high road, where they struck him down. It was mere foolishness to venture liberty and life in a raid upon the house.".

"I discovered that Mrs. Dallas was the richest woman in the West Indies, that she had one fair and marriageable daughter, and that mother and daughter were under the influence of a negress called Dido, who was a profound believer in the cult of Obi. I determined, therefore, to bend the negress to my will by means of the Voodoo stone, and to marry the daughter. Unfortunately, Mrs. Dallas and her child were in England. So thither I went in order to prosecute my suit, and obtain a rich wife in the person of Miss Isabella Dallas. From information obtained in Barbadoes I found that they were living near Deanminster, so to that town I repaired, and established myself as a physician. I made the acquaintance of yourself, of Mr. Alymer, and Mr. Sarby, and also of Mrs. Dallas and her daughter, the young and charming girl whom I intended to make my wife. "I'm going to write!" she declared, dramatically waving the stocking about. "This is truly inspiring!" "I am neither for nor against," replied Jen, enigmatically. "As I said before, let the girl marry who she loves best." "Yes. I promise you I'll say nothing.".
