There won't be a soul there that isn't old enough to be in her dotage, but I promised that nothing short of sudden death would make me miss it." "Annabel, I am surprised at you," said her sister reprovingly. "I wouldn't go far in the evening alone, Miss Murray," she added in her stately way. "It does not seem just well exactly proper, don't you know." "Nonsense, Elinor.
The young lady with whom I was dining last night was Miss Anna Pellissier. Miss Annabel is her sister. I know nothing of that young lady." There was a moment's silence. Drummond took up a cigarette and lit it. "The young lady, I presume, told you that her name was Anna," he remarked. "It was not necessary," Sir John answered stiffly. "I was already aware of the fact.
He thought of his severe attitude towards the girl who was rightly and with contempt refusing his measured help. He looked across at Annabel, and he groaned. This was his humiliation as well as hers. "Anna of course would not accept any money from us," she continued. "She tried everything, and last of all she tried the stage.
Hamilton and Drummond and his lot were with us." "Of course," his friend answered. "La belle 'Alcide, wasn't it? Annabel Pellissier was her real name. Jolly nice girl, too." Ennison nodded. "I thought I saw her in town to-day," he said. "Do you happen to know whether she is supposed to be here?" "Very likely indeed," Captain Fred Meddoes answered, lighting a cigarette.
"Hill has asked for you, and they will take his depositions to-night." She slipped on her cloak and stepped into the hansom with him. They drove rapidly through the emptying streets.

One afternoon a few days before the date set for the meeting Elkanah and two or three of his henchmen were on the piazza of the Daniels home, discussing the situation. They were blue and downcast. Annabel was in the sitting room, shedding tears of humiliation and jealous rage on the haircloth sofa. "Well," observed her father, "there's one thing we can do.
