Last night a hair might have turned the scale and made her say "No," reckless of consequences to-day a thousand Charleys would not have influenced her. She would be Lady Catheron. She sang as she dressed. Not the May sunshine itself was brighter than her face. She left her room, she walked down the corridor, down the stairs, and out upon the emerald green lawn.
And one day, not far from us, two Hollanders "Dutch Charleys," as the miners called that nationality scooped from a depression in the bedrock mixed coarse gold thirty odd pounds in weight over $5,000! That revived our interest, you may be sure. Most of the miners seemed content to stick to panning.

Sir Thomas Charleys stuck to that opinion to the last; and Lord Trowbridge, who had again sat upon the bench, was quite convinced that justice was being shamefully robbed of her due.
