But I expect he made me do so that I should not have my suspicions about that back entrance.

But, Mrs.Vrain, when Ferruci confessed that your husband was alive, why did you not tell it to the world ?" "Well, I'd got the assurance money, you see," said Lydia, with shrewd candour, "and I thought the company would make a fuss and take it back--as I suppose they will now.

Ferruci wanted me to marry him, but I wasn't so bad as that.

I did not want to commit bigamy.

But I really held my tongue because Ferruci told me who killed Clear." "He knew, then ?" cried Lucian, "and denied it to me! Who killed the man ?" "Wrent did--the man who lived in Jersey Street." "And who is at the bottom of the whole plot!" said Lucian furiously.
"Do you know where he is to be found ?" "Yes," said Lydia boldly, "I do; but I'm not going to tell where he is!" "Why not ?" "Because I don't want him punished." "But I do," said Diana angrily.
