"When?" "Speedily; but tell me, what has become of her?" "I do not know." "Put you admit what you suspect." "Yes." "Will you tell me what you suspect?" "I believe she has been abducted." The stranger betrayed great agitation. He buried his face in his hands. He was at the mercy of the detective, had the latter been disposed to take advantage of the situation.
Such news as this was sufficient to overwhelm any one. The man knew nothing more than this, that she had not returned home and that the landlady was frightened. In his opinion only one of two things could have happened: either Langhetti had taken her somewhere, or she had been abducted. A thousand fancies followed one another in quick succession.
"To the man who has broken our law and abducted the child of ill omen, I decree death by the sword and burial with the three throws of dishonour, and if taken alive, then death by burning with the same, and if he escapes out of Erin, then sentence of perpetual banishment and expatriation." "He shall not be slain, and he shall not be burned, and he shall not be exiled.
"She does not love me," he told himself, with magnanimity. "This is remorse or gratitude; I were no gentleman, no, nor yet a man, if I presumed upon these pitiful concessions." Some way down the glen, the stream, already grown to a good bulk of water, was rudely dammed across, and about a third of it abducted in a wooden trough.
Not all of them, however. Within, a young man with ginger hair and laughing eyes, sprang from nowhere, pounced at Kate, floated her away. Mrs. Austen, Margaret, Lennox and Paliser moved on.

On the stage in the room beyond, a fat woman, dressed in green and gauze, was singing faded idiocies.
None but a lunatic would act as she has acted, running away on her wedding-night and coming back a fortnight after. The idea of her being forcibly abducted is all stuff and nonsense. Heaven only knows where the past two weeks have been spent!" "Mrs. Walraven," said the Welsh baronet; with awful, suppressed passion, "you forget you speak of my future wife." "I forget nothing, Sir Roger Trajenna.
She vanished from the home I had found for her, leaving no trace, and I feared that the man had abducted her, to coerce her into making the Pool over to him, until I met him outside the house from which she had gone.
The thoughts formed themselves mechanically in her mind. Her eyes sought the ball which had come crashing into the room. There was life once more in her pulses. She found a scrap of paper and a pencil in her pocket. With trembling fingers she wrote a few words: "Police head-quarters. I am Sanford Quest's assistant, abducted and imprisoned here in the room where the ball has fallen. Help!
The former he had rescued from her wretchedness and provided with a home on a farm at Bouqueval, whence she had been abducted by Chouette and comrades of hers, by orders of Jacques Ferrand, who wanted her put out of the way. Snatched from death, the exhausted girl now lay, but a little this side of life's confines, in the house of Dr.
When he was only seventeen, a beautiful dame of Bologna abducted him and held him prisoner in her country chateau, as once Liszt, his rival in technical fame, was kept a few months. Can there be any secret technical virtue in being kidnapped thus? The fair Bolognese kept Paganini captive for three years in this retreat, where he fed upon scenery, love, and music.
