The Black Robe

CHAPTER VII
10/12

Lord Loring asked for a word more of explanation.
"I told you yesterday," Romayne answered, "that a dread of the return of the voice had been present to me all the morning, and that I had come to see the picture with an idea of trying if change would relieve me.

While I was in the gallery I was free from the dread, and free from the voice.
When I returned to the hotel it tortured me--and Mr.Penrose, I grieve to say, saw what I suffered.

You and I attributed the remission to the change of scene.

I now believe we were both wrong.

Where was the change?
In seeing you and Lady Loring, I saw the two oldest friends I have.
In visiting your gallery, I only revived the familiar associations of hundreds of other visits.
