"Patients have been so numerous that I haven't had time to go out to see her, except at hours when calling at a friend's house was out of the question." "Do you like the Hennikers?" her mother inquired, raising her eyes inquiringly to mine. "Yes, I've found them very agreeable and pleasant." "H'm," the old lady ejaculated dubiously. "Well, I don't.

He knew, as well as I did, that the truth was to be found in England. Again we spoke of Ethelwynn; and from Mary's references to her sister I gathered that a slight coolness had fallen between them. She did not, somehow, speak of her in the same terms of affection as formerly. It might be that she shared her mother's prejudices, and did not approve of her taking up her abode with the Hennikers.

Puzzled by this vague note, and wondering what had occurred, and whether the trip to Bath was in connection with it, I made a hasty toilet and drove in a hansom to the Hennikers'. Mrs. Henniker met me in the drawing-room, just as gushing and charming as ever.
To Ethelwynn I sent a telegram addressed to the Hennikers, in order that she should receive it the instant she arrived in town. Briefly I explained the tragedy, and asked her to come down to the Manor at once, feeling assured that Mrs. Mivart, in the hour of her distress, desired her daughter at her side.
