"No, Major Jen, I can't, and I shan't," retorted Etwald, tartly. "If you are wise you will arrange to let me come here to-morrow at eleven, and meet Mrs. Dallas and her daughter." "Granted; but you forget that Isabella was in the room on that night. She might have dropped the handkerchief." "Der noting wrong, missy," said Dido, eagerly. "I swear--" "Don't say another word till I get back," she said, authoritatively, and was gone before any questions could be formed..
