Consultation.
No second letter arrived.

But a telegram was received from the lawyer toward the end of the week.
"Expect me to-morrow on business which requires personal consultation." That was the message.

In taking the long journey to Cumberland, Mrs.

He was Mr.Sarrazin, of Lincoln's Inn Fields.
Was he an Englishman or a Frenchman?
He was a curious mixture of both.
