I think with you that this woman, Elizabeth Ormistown, and her mother, were capable of doing anything that would bring them in money; but the secret has been kept too long much too long. They did their work skilfully, without accomplices, and without leaving any traces of their proceedings.

"Then do you see the absence of family likeness that Elsie relies so much upon? You knew Elizabeth Ormistown when she was young she saw her an old woman." "I am no hand at likenesses," said MacFarlane, "and did not pay much attention to the girl; but I think both she and Henry were fair and low-featured, and you are dark and high-featured. But that is of no use either, as you know."

"It is rather difficult to tell when you are speaking the truth, and when you are not," said Brandon; "but I believe that you really are Elizabeth Ormistown, and I believe also that Francis Hogarth is not the son of old Cross Hall, as you call him; but I fear you cannot prove it, and without that the information is of no use to us, and worth no money." "If I can prove it, how much is it worth?"

To think of such a thing happening to a daughter of mine, and all through you. "'Well, Mrs. Ormistown, it is a pity, but it was quite as much her doing as mine, and maybe a little more, says he, looking at me with a half-laugh; but I only sighed and groaned, and would not speak to him.
