Unfortunately, young gentleman, I can't be satisfied with it. Lady Gowan, I regret having this duty placed in my hands to carry out, but I must perform it. I am compelled to disbelieve you and your son, and search the house." "Do your duty then, sir," said Lady Gowan coldly; "but I cannot stay here to submit to the insult.
