"And you will see Mrs.Clear ?" "Yes; I'll see her at once, and get her to invite Wrent to Pimlico by that cypher, with a threat that she will betray the whole plot if he does not come." "I daresay he knows already that Mrs.Clear is a traitress ?" "Impossible!" replied Link quickly.
"I have kept Mrs.Clear's name out of the papers.
It is known that Ferruci is dead, and that Mrs.Vrain is likely to be arrested in connection with her supposed husband's murder. But the fact of Mrs.Clear putting the real Vrain into the asylum is not known, nor, indeed, anything about the woman.
If Wrent thinks she'll tell tales, he'll meet her in their own hunting grounds in Geneva Square, to make his terms.
Hitherto he has not replied to her requests for money, but now he'll think she is driven into a corner, and will fix her up once and for all." "Do you think that Wrent is Vrain ?" "Good Lord! no!" replied Link, staring.
