"Do you think," tears gathering in her eyes, "that I could be happy when those I love are reduced to despair?",While the major was wondering what would be the outcome of all the terrible events which had filled the past few weeks, Jaggard--who, with his recovered health, had resumed his duties--entered the library and announced that Mrs. Dallas and her daughter wished to see him.
