The Evil Eye; Or, The Black Spector

CHAPTER XIII
21/30

She and Ferdora O'Connor are about to be married; but I will not mention what I could mention until after that ceremony shall have taken place." "Well," said his sister, "you appear to speak very sincerely, Harry, but I know and feel that there is some mistake somewhere." "Harry," said Lindsay, "from what has occurred this morning, I shall be guided by you.

I will not press this marriage, neither shall I stoop to seek an explanation." "Thank you, sir," replied Harry.

"I advise you as I do because I would not wish to see our whole family insulted in your person." Maria and her brother Charles looked at each other, and seemed to labor under a strange and somewhat mysterious feeling.

The confidence, however, with which Harry spoke evidently depressed them, and, as they entertained not the slightest suspicion of his treachery, they left the apartment each with a heavy heart.
Harry, from this time forward, associated more with his brother than he had done, and seemed to take him more into his confidence.

He asked him out in all his sporting expeditions; and proposed that they should each procure a shooting dress of the same color and materials, which was accordingly done; and so strongly did they resemble each other, when dressed in them, that in an uncertain light, or at a distance, it was nearly impossible to distinguish the one from the other.
