Something has assuredly been discovered; but nobody knows what. Will the secret ever be revealed? And will it throw any light on a mysterious and shocking event which our readers have learned to associate with the past history of Gleninch? Perhaps when Mr. Macallan returns, he may be able to answer these questions. In the meantime we can only await events."
His evidence in his friend's favor at the Trial was given with the deep feeling which everybody expected from him. Nevertheless, I firmly believe, looking under the surface, that Mr. Macallan has no bitterer enemy living than Miserrimus Dexter." He turned me cold. I felt that here, at least, he was right. My husband had wooed and won the woman who had refused Dexter's offer of marriage.
And the name of that woman was Mrs. Beauly! Yes! To that startling conclusion I had arrived. It was, to my mind, the inevitable result of reading the evidence. Look back for a moment to the letter produced in court, signed "Helena," and addressed to Mr. Macallan. Beauly was the writer. Very well.

Before he could advise me in the matter, the footman made his appearance and informed me that Mrs. Macallan's bell was then ringing and ringing violently. "It was then close on eleven o'clock.

It was well for me that I yielded so far.
"I shall be happy to give you any information in my power," said Macallan; "but you must be attentive nothing is to be obtained without labour." "I'm sure mineralogy is not," retorted Prose, throwing down his crowbar from exhaustion.
Many of the officers were standing abaft admiring the beauty of the scene; but not giving vent to their feelings, from an inward consciousness of inability to do justice to it in their expressions. Macallan first broke the silence.
Her name is not Woodville. Macallan, widow of the late General Macallan. Yes! your husband is not your husband. You are neither maid, wife, nor widow. You are worse than nothing, madam, and you leave my house!" I stopped her as she opened the door to go out. She had roused my temper by this time.
