She cried, in a threatening tone, 'Return, and tell M. Ferrand that if he is not here in an hour he shall be arrested for forgery, for the child which he pretended was dead is yet alive. I know to whom he delivered her I know where she is." "The woman is crazy," answered Polidori, coldly, shrugging his shoulders. "You think so, sir." "I am sure of it."

She saw, from the increasing dejection of her confederate, from his supplicating attitude, that I had him in my power.
"One more attack like the last, and all is over," said Polidori, in a low tone, and, retiring from the bed, he commenced walking slowly up and down the room.
