"I would not make such a confession to many beside yourself," answered Lady Roseville; "nay, you need not thank me.

"Would you interfere with my vengeance?" said Lady Lake. "Ay, mother, I will interfere with it effectually unless you comply," rejoined Lady Roos, firmly.

"Part of this I knew already," he said, finally, "but not this as to your father. You have my sympathy and, sir, my congratulations on your accounting for such a fiend. There, at least, justice has been served."
