"He says for you to come right up," said the bell-boy, who had delivered the message. "Is he up yet?" questioned Dave. "Yes, sir." The bell-boy led the way to the room, which was in a wing on the second floor. All the boys but Bert went up, and Mr. Passmore accompanied them. They found Mr. Fordham seated in an easy chair. He looked quite bewildered at the entrance of so many visitors.
You are not of age yet, Mr. Varney; you are not free from a father's tyrannical control." "The law does not own you as my father, I am told, sir. You have said my name rightly, it is Varney, not Dalibard. We have no rights over each other; so at least says Tom Passmore, and his father's a lawyer!" Dalibard's hand griped his son's arm fiercely.
With tears on his tanned cheeks the Scotchman complied; and Hardwick's eyes, too, were wet as he saw it. "We'll have those things off of him in no time," he shouted. "Here, let's get him in to the couch in my office. Send some of the mechanics here. Where's Shade Buckheath?" A dozen pairs of hands were stretched up to assist MacPherson and Pros Passmore.
"You left America," Passmore said, "in search of your wife, formerly Countess of Radantz, who had left you unexpectedly." "It is true!" Mr. Sabin answered. "Madame la Duchesse on reaching London became the guest of the Duchess of Dorset, where she has been staying since. Whilst there she has received many visits from Mr. Reginald Brott." Mr. Sabin's face was as the face of a sphinx.

Passmore rose to his feet.
"Oh, Mr. Cary, my dear life! Mr. Cary! and so you be! Oh, dear soul alive! but you're burnt so brown, and I be 'most blind with misery. Oh, who ever sent you here, my dear Mr. Will, then, to save a poor wretch from the pit?" "Who on earth are you?" "Lucy Passmore, the white witch to Welcombe. Don't you mind Lucy Passmore, as charmed your warts for you when you was a boy?"

"Lucy Passmore!" almost shrieked all three friends. "She that went off with " "Yes! she that sold her own soul, and persuaded that dear saint to sell hers; she that did the devil's work, and has taken the devil's wages; after this fashion!" and she held up her scarred wrists wildly. "Where is Dona de Rose Salterne?" shouted Will and Jack. "Where is my brother Frank?" shouted Amyas.
He laid a coarse little garment upon the ragged coverlet. "That!" cried Laurella Passmore, taking it up with angrily tremulous fingers. "My child shain't wear no sech. Hit ain't fittin' for my baby to put on. Oh, I wisht I could git up from here and do about; I'd git somethin' for her to wear!" "Son," said Mrs.
"I found these here on my return," he said, "and attached to them the card which I believe is still there. Go and look at it." Passmore rose and bent over the fragrant blossoms.
