"I am sure of it, and what's more," added Jen, nodding, "it is my opinion that he knows who killed Maurice, if indeed he did not do it himself." "Look, look!" cried Judith, her eyes alight and her whole slender little figure relaxed. "Two trees are down!".

Having dismissed Battersea, the negress turned to seek Isabella. She was so devoted to her nursling that she could hardly bear to be away from her, and since her infancy Isabella had scarcely been absent an hour from her strange attendant.

Elinor held her close, laughing with enjoyment at her ardor..
