He dismounted, and fastening his horse to a tree, climbed among the branches, purposing to remain there till morning.，"Had nothing to do with it," interrupted Isabella. "I dropped the handkerchief in the room. Is there anything so very extraordinary in that?" she added, impatiently. "The matter is very simple.
