And with this exclamation the last doubt in Harleston's mind of Mrs. Clephane's having aught to do with the night attack vanished and having acquitted her in that respect, there was scarcely any question as to the sincerity and truth of her tale. As it has been remarked previously, Mrs. Clephane was very good to look at and what is more to the point with Harleston, she looked back.
Spencer cold as ice, crafty as the devil, beautiful as sin, and hard as adamant, knowing her Paris and London and its scandals I suppose she must know them in her profession instantly recognized me and placed me as Robert Clephane's wife. For I am his wife or rather his widow. I lied to her because I didn't intend that she should have the gratification of seeing her play win.
"What do you know about Mrs. Clephane?" he asked. "That she's even lovelier and more attractive than Mrs. Spencer." "You've seen her you know her?" "You told me," replied Carpenter. "I told you!

Fortune favoured him by sending to the house another day boy, one Mansfield.
"Ask her to call me at the Collingwood the moment she comes in," said Harleston. Then he got Ranleigh and told him of the Spencer episode and of Mrs. Clephane's disappearance. "You would better put Mrs. Clephane under lock and key or else stay with her and keep her from rash adventures," Ranleigh commented. "I quite agree with you," said Harleston.

"You're Robert Clephane's widow, are you not?" "Robert Clephane was, I believe, a distant cousin," Mrs. Clephane responded. "De Forrest Clephane was my husband. Did you know him, Mrs. Spencer?"
