CHAPTER III
78/102

Is she likely to want me for such a purpose as this?
Doubtful.

Is she merely anxious to get rid of me on easy terms?
Probable.

Am I the sort of man to be treated in this way by my own pupil?

Second alternative: to express fond anxiety in a paternal capacity; and to threaten giving the alarm to her sister and the lawyer, if she persists in her design.

Third alternative: to turn the information I already possess to the best account, by making it a marketable commodity between Mr.Michael Vanstone and myself.
