Recall your past experience of both of them; remember what they have just said; and now tell me do you believe they have spoken falsely?" Blanche answered on the instant. "I believe, uncle, they have spoken the truth!" Both the lawyers registered their objections. Lady Lundie made another attempt to speak, and was stopped once more this time by Mr. Moy as well as by her own adviser.

"I desire to say, it will be but the fourth, Major Duncan," said the Quartermaster positively; then, instantly changing the expression of his face to one of boyish rapture, he added, "But this Mabel Dunham is a rara avis!
On trying the lock it proved to be turned inside. They broke open the door, and saw him lying on the sofa. They went close to look and found him dead by his own hand.
