John?" said Madame Dalibard. "We want no idle sacrifices. If my son be not found, we need not that boy's ghost amongst those who haunt us." "Surely not," said Varney; "and for my part, he may be more useful to me alive than dead. Percival St. John is your victim, not mine; not till you give the order would I lift a finger to harm him."
