CHAPTER V THE GHOST DANCE "Am I unjust in my hatred of you?" demanded Jen, getting on his feet. "I think not. Dr. Etwald. Your desire to marry Isabella, or rather her fortune, has been the cause of all these ills. Dido was only your instrument, whom you compelled to work by means of the Voodoo stone. That she betrayed you in the end was your punishment. I do not blame her so much as I do you. You alone are responsible for the death of those two poor lads of mine." To learn the truth, he thought it advisable to call at "The Wigwam" and interrogate Dido.

Tragical, certainly; for herein the elements of comedy seem to be wanting. But then Fate is so pessimistic..
