'I think you can prevent that best yourself, by telling Uncle Regie how sorry you are. He was specially grieved because he thinks you told him two direct falsehoods. 'Oh! I didn't think they were that, said Dolores, 'for it was true that father did not leave anything with me for Uncle Alfred. And I did not know whether it was me whom he saw at Darminster.
Why, what's the matter? Lady Merrifield hastily explained, as far as she yet understood, what had brought him. 'How did they get the cheque? she asked. 'Sent up from the country bank where it had been cashed Darminster. 'Ah! came from both the aunts. Lord Rotherwood went on.
He has quitted Darminster after having cashed this cheque for seventy pounds. We have already telegraphed to the police to be on the look out for him, but I much fear that it will be too late. 'Oh! my fifteen pounds! What shall I do? Oh, Dolores, how could you? I shall never trust any one again!
It was a great pity you could not see Lily yourself. To my dismay I encountered Flinders in the street at Darminster last week. I believe he is on the staff of a paper there, happily Dolly does not know it, nor do I think he knows where she is.

'Oh, thank you, Connie. Then I shall have got him one subscriber, as he asks me to do.
Colonel Mohun and Lord Rotherwood were going to Darminster to see what was the state of the investigation about Mr. Flinders.
'Oh, the creature! To think of that poor foolish Constance sitting by to hear it represented that the expedition to Darminster, and all the rest of it, was because she was actually touched by that fellow. I really felt ready to take her part.
Aunt Lily won't let me come alone, and though it is holiday time, that is no good, for those horrid boys are always about, and I see that Jasper is going to be worse even than Wilfred. Various ways and means were discussed, but no excuse seemed available for either Constance's going to Darminster, or for Mr. Flinders coming to Silverton, without exciting suspicion. 'The Christmas-tree!
Then, meeting Dolores on the stairs took her into the dining-room and made her swallow some cold beef, and drink some sherry, before telling her that the magistrates at Darminster wanted to ask her some questions. Dolores looked pale and frightened, and exclaimed, 'Oh, but he has got away! 'My dear, I am grieved to say that he has not.
'Certainly; I told them I thought the whole thing must be a well got up forgery, and a confidential clerk was to go down today to Darminster to try to find out who gave it in there. 'Darminster! Flinders! ejaculated Miss Mohun. 'Regie, exclaimed Lady Merrifield; 'what did you say about having seen some one like Dolores at Darminster station? 'I was nearly jumping out after her.
