Even if my uncle sends me away when he gets well, I must do exactly as he told me, no more, nor any less, and one of those things," she added, turning and pressing the electric bell in the wall by her side, "was that no one, no one at all, should enter this room." Mr.Weiss stood quite still.

He seemed to be thinking, but Virginia could see that his hands were tightly clenched, and the bones of his long sinewy fingers were standing out, straining against the flesh.
"I am disappointed in you, Miss Longworth," he said.

"You have a great opportunity.

It need not be only a matter of the necklace--" She held out her hands.
"You mustn't!" she begged.

"I am too frightened of my uncle." Then she turned suddenly and opened the door to the servant, whose approaching footsteps she had heard.
"Will you please show Mr.Weiss out ?" she said.
