"I am dreadfully sorry," I said, "but I was thinking so hard I never thought of looking round. I have got some news for you." Her eyes sparkled. "What is it?" she cried. "Bolton's pocket book has been found among the rocks, and this was his last entry before he was killed." I handed her the book open at the place and watched her face as she read.
On the following day Hester was taken out to dinner at The Nurseries, as Robert Bolton's house was called, was taken out by her father.

Bolton's hand's in a bad way, though; lose two of his fingers, I'm afraid." "And how did you escape?" "I don't know.
As soon as they had got away from the door of Robert Bolton's house, the husband attempted to comfort his young wife.
