As the cloths were laid aside, there was a disheartening silence.,"But to make a long story short, I had the body of Mr. Alymer stolen, with the aid of Dido, in order to revive my rival. I did not wish him to die, so I took away his body, and kept him in the trance for some weeks, feeding him in the meantime, so as to preserve life. While I was in prison. Dido attended him by my orders. Mr. Alymer was not concealed in my house; so that is why the police had a useless search for the body. Where was he concealed? Ah, that is my secret.,THE THIRD LETTER OF DR. ETWALD.，"And condemn the poor girl to eternal misery," said Etwald. "Well, I do not agree with you.
