All this could be seen at the single glance I obtained, before her vail was drawn hurriedly down." "Strange that she should seek so to hide her face from every eye.
Can it be that she is some one we have known, who has fallen so low ?" "No, I think not," replied Milford.

"I am certain that I have never seen her before.

Her face is a strange one to me.

At least, the glance I had revealed no familiar feature." "Well, I, for one, am resolved to know more about her," remarked Perkins, as the two friends paused before separating.

"Since she has awakened so sudden, and yet so strong an interest in my mind, I should feel that I was not doing right if I made no effort to learn something of her true position in our city, where, I am much inclined to think, she is a stranger." The young men, after a few more words, separated, Perkins getting into an "hourly" and going oyer to Charlestown to see a man on some business who could not be at his house until late in the day.
