"No, madam; but will be very glad of a cup," answered the judge, pleased with any divertisement. Lady Hurstmonceux rang, and ordered fresh tea and toast and more cups and saucers. And the party seated themselves. And thus the embarrassment of that dreaded meeting was overgot. While they sipped their tea the judge exerted himself to be interesting.

Then suddenly all her ghastly nightmare of terror found climax in a world of demons. Voices of the damned rose around her. There came a sudden shock, a blow.
