[The Circular Study by Anna Katharine Green]@TWC D-Link bookThe Circular Study CHAPTER V 8/28

But, mind, it is only a suspicion." "All right, sir," and with an air of some confidence, the young man disappeared. Mr.Gryce did not look as if he shared young Sweetwater's cheerfulness. The mist surrounding this affair was as yet impenetrable to him.
