The New Magdalen

CHAPTER XXVII
39/45

I tried one place after another--always with the same results.

Suspicion and jealousy I could endure; but I was defenseless when curiosity assailed me in its turn.

Sooner or later inquiry led to discovery.
Sometimes the servants threatened to give warning in a body--and I was obliged to go.

Sometimes, where there was a young man in the family, scandal pointed at me and at him--and again I was obliged to go.

If you care to know it, Miss Roseberry can tell you the story of those sad days.
