To the bishop's unconcealed amazement, Mrs Pendle neither wept nor fainted; she controlled her emotion with a power of will which he had never credited her with possessing, and her first thought was not for herself, but for her companion in misfortune. Placing her hands on either side of the bishop's face, she kissed him fondly, tenderly, pityingly.
"Would you be interested in looking at some photographs of Indian life?" "Made by this young lady?" asked Watkins, looking with unconcealed interest at Diana. "Yes," said Enoch. "And shown and explained by her?" asked the Indian Commissioner, a twinkle in his brown eyes. Diana laughed, and so did Abbott. Enoch's even white teeth flashed for a moment.

The old gentleman was looking at him now in unconcealed alarm. Lizabetha Prokofievna wrung her hands. "Oh, my God!" she cried. She had guessed the state of the case before anyone else. Aglaya rushed quickly up to him, and was just in time to receive him in her arms, and to hear with dread and horror that awful, wild cry as he fell writhing to the ground.
At this, one of the cowled inquisitors stepped forward; but at that moment a door opened and a man entered, clad in rich and costly vestments, his identity unconcealed in any way by cowl or cloak. Roger looked up, and could scarcely credit his senses. Where where had he seen that sinister and evil countenance before?
In silence, for a minute or more, he studied the unconcealed skepticism in his employer's face, and then asked slowly: "Do you know what diamonds are, Mr. Latham?"
