Then he urged his allowing the servant at least to sleep on the sofa in the front parlor, leaving the door into Mr. Liddell's room open. To this the object of his solicitude was also opposed, so Mr. Newton bade him farewell. Katherine, however, waylaid him in the hall, and they held a short conference. "He really ought not to be left alone at night." "No, he must not," said Katherine.
Liddell turned his keen eyes on his young visitor, and said: "You came in the nick of time, and you seem to know what you are about; but I dare say I should have pulled through without you. Now about your story. Before anything else I must be assured that you are really Frederic Liddell's daughter. Not that your being so gives you the smallest claim upon me."
"I suppose you don't object to be left alone? And there is the chance of Mrs. Needham coming down; probably she will stay over Monday." "I fear that is not very likely." No more was said on the subject then, but Katherine could not get her mind free from the idea of George Liddell's anticipated visit.

"It is a wonderful history," said Mrs. Liddell. "I feel half frightened; yet if Mr. Liddell's solicitor is an honest, respectable man, he will surely be on our side; at the same time, I am half afraid of falling into John Liddell's clutches. He has the character of being a relentless creditor: he will have his pound of flesh!
Liddell's niece, and at least you must do a few things for me before you go." "Oh! if you are here, miss, I don't mind. I can't think as how you are Mr. Liddell's niece." "I am, and I must not leave him till he is better. What is your name?" "Susan, ma'am." "Well, Susan, is there any bread or anything in the larder?"
