Having signed the receipt, Mrs.Vimpany took up the packet, and examined the address.

She instantly looked at Iris, and looked away again.

"Will you excuse me for a moment ?" saying this she left the room, without opening the packet.
The moment the door closed on her, Iris started up, and hurried to Mountjoy.
"Oh, Hugh," she said, "I saw the address on that packet when the servant put it on the table!" "My dear, what is there to excite you in the address ?" "Don't speak so loud! She may be listening outside the door." Not only the words, but the tone in which they were spoken, amazed Mountjoy.

"Your friend, Mrs.Vimpany!" he exclaimed.
"Mrs.Vimpany was afraid to open the packet in our presence," Iris went on: "you must have seen that.

The handwriting is familiar to me; I am certain of the person who wrote the address." "Well?
And who is the person ?" She whispered in his ear: "Lord Harry.".
