He presses the hand that rests upon his arm an eighth of an inch nearer to his heart than it was before, if that be possible. "Oh, Dorothy, don't do that! Don't, my dearest, my pet!" he entreats.

He walks steadily and with an unflinching air, but when the curve has hidden him from her eyes he stops short, and sighs heavily. "He has stolen the will. Taken it away. That paper you hold must have fallen from him, and contains the directions about finding the right panel. Ah! what shall we do now?" The music, soft and almost mournful, echoes through the room; the feet keep time upon the oaken floor; weird-like the two forms move through the settled gloom. "I am quite comfortable, thank you.".
