Oh, I love my country, too, but I want Dick! I should feel like his murderess all my life, if I didn't consent!" "It occurs to me," Lessingham remarked, turning towards Philippa, "that Miss Fairclough's point of view is one to be considered." "Doesn't all that Miss Fairclough has said apply to me ?" Philippa demanded, with a little break in her voice.

"Richard is my twin brother, he is the dearest thing in life to me.

Can't you realise, though, that what you ask of us is treason ?" "It really doesn't amount to that," Lessingham assured her.

"In my own heart I feel convinced that I have come here on a fool's errand.

No object that I could possibly attain in this neighbourhood is worth the life of a man like Richard Felstead." "Oh, he's right!" Helen exclaimed.
