"Alas!" answered Constance, "life betrays few of its past signs by outward token. If you have no wiser art than that drawn from the lines and features of our countenances, I shall still remain what I am now an unbeliever in your powers."

The door opened, and a black girl of about ten years old, in the costume of her Moorish tribe, announced the arrival of a new visitor. The countenance of Madame Liehbur changed at once into an expression of cold and settled calmness; she ordered the visitor to be admitted; and presently, Stainforth Radclyffe entered the room.
Is it not so? am I not an oracle in my turn?" The mysterious Liehbur fell back in her chair; her lips apart and blanched her hands clasped her eyes fixed upon her visitant. "Who are you?" she cried at last, in a shrill tone; "who, of my own sex, knows my wretched history?

"Away with this talk to me; or, if you would convince me, raise at once the spectre I desire to see!"
