My mistress dwelt strongly on Rosanna's good conduct in her service, and on the high opinion entertained of her by the matron at the reformatory.
"You don't suspect her, I hope ?" my lady added, in conclusion, very earnestly.
"I have already told your ladyship that I don't suspect any person in the house of thieving--up to the present time." After that answer, my lady rose to go up-stairs, and ask for Miss Rachel's keys.

The Sergeant was before-hand with me in opening the door for her.

He made a very low bow.

My lady shuddered as she passed him.
We waited, and waited, and no keys appeared.

Sergeant Cuff made no remark to me.
