I want a small sum to pay the nurse for attending this poor young man," cried Nizza.
"Judith Malmayns is so cunning and unscrupulous, that she may find some means of doing him an injury." "Have no fear," replied Thirlby; "she has promised me not to molest him further." "You appear to have a strange influence over her, then," observed Leonard. "May I ask how you have attained it?" "No matter," replied the other.
