"That looks as if he meant to live," Susan remarked.
Boulby dropped her departing curtsey, and Robert read out, with odd pauses and puzzled emphasis: "Mrs. Lovell has received the letter which Mr. Robert Eccles has addressed to her, and regrets that a misconception should have arisen from anything that was uttered during their interview. The allusions are obscure, and Mrs. Lovell can only remark, that she is pained if she at all misled Mr.
