I left the beautiful mountain town with regret, knowing I should see it no more.
I had scarcely mastered the message, standing there close to the open window, when the words upon my lips were arrested, and my heart beat fast, as now, unmistakably no chimera of the brain, I could see six or seven figures glide out of the darkness towards the house, straight to where I stood with Lilla.
We had not been seated there an hour when we heard Garcia's voice in the yard, and Lilla crept closer to Mrs Landell. "Harry," said my uncle, "you must please leave the room.
