I can hardly believe it.' 'If you could bring the retribution on him that he has deserved,' Henry Westwick answered sternly, 'I might be inclined to agree with you.' As that reply passed his lips, the old nurse appeared again at the door, announcing another visitor.

Do you mind my having her in here for a minute or two ?' Henry rose to take his leave.

'I should be glad to see Emily again at any other time,' he said.
