She had it on when she came, Christmas Eve, and she didn't wear it when I let her out, and the next day Mr.Wrent gave it to me.

So I suppose it is the same cloak." "And did the lady go out into the cold winter weather without the cloak ?" "Yes; but she had a long cloth jacket on, sir, so I don't s'pose she missed it." "Was the lady agitated when she went out ?" "I don't know.

She held her tongue and kept her veil down." "Can you tell me anything more ?" asked Lucian, anxious to make the examination as exhaustive as possible.
"No, Mr.Denzil," answered Rhoda, after some thought, "I can't, except that Mr.Wrent, long before Christmas, promised me a present, and gave me the cloak then." "Will you let me take this cloak away with me ?" "If you like," replied Rhoda carelessly.

"I don't want it.' "Oh, Rhoda!" wailed Mrs.Bensusan.

"Your lovely, lovely rabbit skin!" "I'll bring it back again," said Lucian hastily.
