For the present, I will merely say that one of Mr.Mainwaring's guests incidentally met and recognized this caller; that the latter was evidently well and unfavorably known by both Mr.Mainwaring and his guests, and, if I am not mistaken, by the secretary also, and that the mention of the man's name seemed to affect Mr.Hugh Mainwaring very unpleasantly." "In what respect, Mr.Whitney ?" "He grew very pale and appeared confused, if not alarmed, on learning that the man was in this country and had been seen at this house, and he seemed abstracted and very unlike himself for fully an hour after the occurrence." "Will you state the name of this man ?" "He was spoken of as Richard Hobson, formerly an attorney, of London.".
