1/14 About nine o'clock on the same evening, Mr.Waddington, who was spending a quiet hour or two with his books, was disturbed by a hasty knock at the door of his rooms. He rose with some reluctance from his chair to answer the summons. He was paler, even, than usual, and there were black shadows under his eyes. There was a change in his face, indescribable but very apparent. |
