"There is no time to be lost. Come, Miss Griffin, I shall need you and Miss Howes too.","After!" replied Isabella, with some hesitation; then abruptly left the major's side to exchange a few words with Dido. Jen, as was natural, looked after her with a glance full of doubt and suspicion. Notwithstanding her love for Maurice and her expressed desire to avenge his death by hunting down the assassin, she appeared to be anything but frank in the matter. In plain words, her conduct suggested to Jen's mind an idea that she knew more than she cared to talk about; and that such half-hinted knowledge implicated her mother.

"You have saved me the trouble of a journey, as I was on my way to your house."They had not missed her, much to her surprise. She felt she had undergone so much, and they were still in the very state she had left them.

Also the mysterious way in which he had come to his end, the absence of any known motive, and the knowledge that the deceased had no enemies--all these thing's combined to raise public curiosity to the highest pitch. The inquest on the dead body was awaited with much anxiety.,"You do!" cried Jen, in surprise, "And who told you?",The public prosecutor said that he asserted no more than he could prove to their lordships and the gentlemen of the jury.
