And besides, what motive could he have?" "The motive was all-powerful. Has not Mr. Trevlyn, by his own confession, loved you from his youth up?" "Yes." "And Paul Linmere was about to become your husband. Could there be a more potent reason for Archer Trevlyn to desire Mr. Linmere's death?
The girl turned from white to crimson. "I have been in my room," she replied. "But your clothes are damp, and your hair uncurled " "The air is wet, and this great house is as moist as an ice-shed," returned the girl, hurriedly. "It is no wonder if my hair is uncurled.
