I am a friend of the Bannerworth family, and have kept watch here now for two nights, in the hopes of meeting with Varney, the vampyre." "The deuce you have: and pray what may your name be?"

"I had never for a moment forgotten that so large a sum of money was somewhere concealed about Bannerworth Hall, and I still looked forward to obtaining it by some means or another. "It was in this juncture of affairs, that one night I was riding on horseback through a desolate part of England.
D n it, that's a poor privilege for an Englishman to be forced to make a row about. I tell you I like it. I will be imposed upon, so there's an end of that; and now let's come in and see what Mrs. Bannerworth has got ready for luncheon."
She sunk back on the pillows as she spoke and closed her eyes with a deep sigh.

"Was it you that called at Bannerworth Hall, after my father's melancholy death, and inquired for him?" "I did; and when I heard of the deed that he had done, I at once left, in order to hold counsel with myself as to what I should do to obtain at least a portion of the property, one-half of which, it was understood, was to have been mine.
