"Ho, ho!" thought Maurice, as he turned away. "So David has gone to see Lady Meg and the countess. Now, if he is in love with Isabella, and Mrs. Dallas favors his suit, I wonder why he acts in that way?" "She hasn't told me anything, sir." So far the reader may wonder at the constituent elements of this story. African witchcraft, mysterious strangers, and barbaric women seem to be out of place when set in the sober framework of an English provincial town.

Whatever it is, I'm going into it tooth and nail. I'll show them that I'm on the turf even if I can't win a ribbon." "Patricia!" gasped Judith, shocked out of her dreamy calm.
