You will correct this; eh, you Harley--you John Harley ?" Mr.Harley had not named Storri to Dorothy since that awful New Year's night.

However, so worn to abject thinness was now his spirit on the constant wheel of fear that he carried Storri's latest word to her without apology.

Richard must not visit Senator Hanway in his study.

Mr.
Harley could not go to Senator Hanway, he could not go to Richard; he could come only to her.
Dorothy, whose trembling concern was her father, and who felt ever more and more like some fly caught fast in a spider's web, made no reply.
There was nothing to say--nothing save obedience.

She wrote Richard that Storri had set a spy upon the house, and asked him to forego his calls upon Senator Hanway.
