Did you see anyone?","Exactly. Isabella Dallas, and none other, killed your boy Maurice.","So it was you whom he went to see on business to-night?","One moment, Miss Dallas. What influence has Etwald over the negress?","That you must prove," replied Lady Meg, dryly.，"What do you mean?" asked Maurice, turning his still frowning face toward this strange and enigmatic man.，"What's it to be?" asked Elinor, releasing her and beginning to braid her dark hair.，"I can't tell you that just now," he said, in a hesitating manner. "But I know it for certain.""Ho, ho; and by whom?"

At first he read and smoked, then he paced up and down, thinking of his dead lad, and finally, as the hands of the clock drew to midnight, he threw himself into a chair, and worn out in body and in mind, the old man slept profoundly. Hour after hour passed in silence; the moon set and the night grew darker, as the wind rose and moaned through the woods round the house. Save the muttering of the breeze and the ticking of the clock not a sound was to be heard in that silent room wherein Jen slept heavily.,She and Aunt Bettie had just come up the street from Aunt Bettie's house, and the Pollard cook was following them with a large basket, in which were packed things Aunt Bettie was contributing towards the entertainment of the distinguished citizen.

This discovery, to the major's mind, confirmed the guilt of the negress.,"She wants Isabella to marry David.","Do you not know what occurred during the time you were insensible?" he asked, gravely.,David, grinning broadly, cast a rather sheepish glance at the hurrying throng.,"I haven't had a sample of the food yet," he said, gravely, "but if it comes up to the equipment, I'll be perfectly satisfied.","Dearest, you must not be afraid," said he, glancing down anxiously at her face. "You must throw off the terror you have of this woman. If the law--",When riding homeward after this interesting conversation, the major could not but admit to himself that Arkel had brightened up wonderfully in his intellects since first taking charge of the case. The man was not brilliant, not even clever; yet in the present instance he displayed more readiness of resource than Jen would have given him credit for. The theory of the drugging was worthy of investigation, and the major determined to see if anything could be discovered likely to support this view of the matter. He still held to his belief in Jaggard's honesty, for it was incredible that an old servant of thirty years' standing should turn traitor at once; but he thought it probable that someone might have taken him by surprise and drugged him.
