"No, Charmian, no I must see this man alone. You must leave here, to-night-now. You can catch the London Mail at the cross roads. Go to Blackheath to Sir Richard Anstruther he is my friend tell him everything " She was down at my feet, and had caught my hand to her bosom. "I can't!" she cried, "I can't go and leave you here alone.

Get away at once, and go immediately and telegraph to Anstruther in London. No, don't deny you are intimate with him. I know it.
