"Is he in London?
Have you seen him ?" "I have," replied Guy Fawkes; "I accidentally met him to-night, and have shown him this dwelling.

He will come hither to-morrow." "I wanted only this to make me thoroughly wretched," cried Viviana, clasping her hands with anguish.

"Oh! what unhappy chance threw him across your path?
Why did you tell him I was here?
Why give him a hope that I would see him?
But I will _not_ see him.

I will quit this house rather than be exposed to the meeting." "What means this sudden excitement, Viviana ?" cried Guy Fawkes, greatly surprised by her agitation.

"Why should a visit from Humphrey Chetham occasion you uneasiness ?" "I know not," she answered, blushing deeply; "but I will not hazard it." "I thought you superior to your sex," rejoined Fawkes, "and should never have suspected you of waywardness or caprice." "You charge me with failings that do not belong to me," she answered.
