"Is it that you have ceased to love me, that you feel your own passion is over?" I asked gently. "No, certainly not that." "Is it that you think I want to, or ought to be free from you?"

Moreover, through him the heart-breaking intelligence of her son's evil courses might reach Mrs. Manly. But no doubt Frank's chief motive for concealing the cause of his grief from Captain Edney was the suspicion he still entertained, notwithstanding that officer's professed ignorance of the entire matter, that he was in reality the secret donor of the watch.
