"I thank you for your good wishes, Caterine; but what is it you would say?" "Is it true, Miss Alice, that you and Mr. Woodward are coortin'?"
Accordingly, notwithstanding all this indifference of manner, he felt that it was for no common purpose Caterine Collins sought an interview with him, and with this impression on his mind he resolved to watch his motions closely.
It was upon one of these occasions that she saw the fortune-teller, Caterine Collins, approach her, and as her spirits were unusually depressed for the moment, she felt no inclination to enter into any conversation with her.
Barney Casey, who suspected there was something in the wind, in consequence of the secret interview which took place between Caterine Collins and Harry, conscious as he felt that it was for no good purpose, watched that worthy gentleman's face with keen but quiet observation, in the hope of being able to draw some inference from its expression. This, however, was a vain task.

"I will follow your advice," said he, "and will take refuge in what is called the haunted cottage, for this night." His mysterious friend now left him, and Woodward prepared to seek the haunted cottage in the mountains.
