But any possessions, Miss Vanstone, personally belonging to you or to your sister--jewelry and dresses, and any little presents which may have been made to you--are entirely at your disposal.

With regard to the time of your departure, I understand that a month or more will elapse before Mr.Michael Vanstone can leave Zurich; and I am sure I only do his solicitor justice in saying--" "Excuse me, Mr.Pendril," interposed Norah; "I think I understand, from what you have just said, that our house and everything in it belongs to-- ?" She stopped, as if the mere utterance of the man's name was abhorrent to her.
"To Michael Vanstone," said Mr.Pendril.

"The house goes to him with the rest of the property." "Then I, for one, am ready to leave it tomorrow!" Magdalen started at the window, as her sister spoke, and looked at Mr.
Clare, with the first open signs of anxiety and alarm which she had shown yet.
"Don't be angry with me," she whispered, stooping over the old man with a sudden humility of look, and a sudden nervousness of manner.

"I can't go without seeing Frank first!" "You shall see him," replied Mr.Clare.
