The effect upon her mind was hardly less powerful than if she had actually listened to, and reciprocated, the vows of Edgar Vaughan; for, though the illusion never quite deceived her, yet the remembrance was as distinct as of a remembered interview. Those heavenly eyes gazed forever into her soul, which drank at them as at a fountain, and was disquieted if reality threw a momentary cloud between.
"Well, Lester," he began; but I sprang to my feet and faced the room, for I could have sworn that I had heard behind me the rustle of a silken dress. But there was no one there except Swain and Miss Vaughan and the dead man and none of them had moved. "What is it?" Godfrey asked, stepping past me into the room. "There was someone there, Godfrey," I said.
"Oh, no; please let me come to your usual sitting-room. Is this your father?" And she held out her hand again. There was something in her face that always ensured its own welcome.

"Well, when I told Miss Vaughan about the prints on her father's robe, she ran to a book-case and got out a book. It had Vaughan's collection in it, all bound together. But the page on which Swain's were had been torn out." Godfrey sat for a moment, staring at me spell-bound.
I only wish we could get Miss Vaughan out of it that would give us a freer hand." "What's the matter with the fool girl, anyway?" demanded Simmonds. "I should think she'd jump at a chance to get away." "So should I but she isn't reasonable, just now. I can't make her out.
