Mrs.Wragge and Miss Vanstone preceded me here, in accordance with the plan I laid down for effecting our retreat from York.

On the next day I followed them alone, with the luggage.

On leaving the terminus, I had the satisfaction of seeing the lawyer's clerk in close confabulation with the detective officer whose advent I had prophesied.

I left him in peaceable possession of the city of York, and the whole surrounding neighborhood.

He has returned the compliment, and has left us in peaceable possession of the valley of the Esk, thirty miles away from him.
Remarkable results have followed my first efforts at the cultivation of Miss Vanstone's dramatic abilities.
I have discovered that she possesses extraordinary talent as a mimic.
She has the flexible face, the manageable voice, and the dramatic knack which fit a woman for character-parts and disguises on the stage.
