Certainly I shall have him arrested on suspicion of murder."，CHAPTER X.—THE CIRCUS.，"You again want to imply, sister," said Captain Acton with a darkling face, "that my daughter has eloped with the man she rejected.""Thank you so much," she said in a tone of such even sweetness that Patricia felt uncomfortable, though she did not know why.
