Anne Catherick's native place. Again, and yet again, the woman in white.
I looked at her, with my mind full of that other lovely face which had so ominously recalled her to my memory on the terrace by moonlight. I had seen Anne Catherick's likeness in Miss Fairlie. I now saw Miss Fairlie's likeness in Anne Catherick saw it all the more clearly because the points of dissimilarity between the two were presented to me as well as the points of resemblance.
Catherick should take up with a chance stranger like Sir Percival Glyde. 'Ay, but is he a stranger to her? says my husband. 'You forget how Catherick's wife came to marry him. She went to him of her own accord, after saying No over and over again when he asked her.

I'm only frightened." Mrs.
