The woman, Castaldi, is to be interrogated by the council this afternoon, and I have no doubt she will make a full confession, seeing that my daughters' evidence is, in itself, sufficient to prove her guilt, and that it can be proved, from other sources, that it was she who inveigled them away by a false message from me." "I am glad indeed, signor, that I am not to be called, and that this affair of the conspiracy is not to be brought up.

I would, with your permission, now return home.

Giuseppi took a message to my father from me, the first thing, explaining my absence; and I told him, when we left your house, to go at once to tell him that your daughters had been recovered, and that I should return before long.

Still, he will want to hear from me as to the events of the night." "Will you also tell him, Francisco, that I will call upon him this afternoon.

I have much to say to him." "I am glad Signor Polani is coming," Mr.Hammond said, when his son gave him the message.
