Ever again came the blow of iron upon iron, and the boring had begun afresh. Into her lovely chamber Dorothy had carried to Juliet the glad tidings that her husband was within a few hundred yards of the house, and that she might trust Mr. Polwarth to keep him there until all danger was over. Juliet now manifested far more courage than she had given reason to expect.
"Aha!" said Wingfold, as he entered and cast his eyes around, "there is no room for surprise that you should have found me out so easily, Mr. Polwarth! Here you have a legion of detectives for such rascals."
"I do not think I made any blunder, but there she is gone in tenfold misery! I wish I could tell you what passed, but that of course I cannot." "Of course not," returned Polwarth. "But the fact of her leaving yon so is no sign that you said the wrong thing, rather the contrary.
"I wonder what sort of person I should have been if I had had a straight spine!" said Rachel laughing. "Hardly one so dear to your deformed uncle," said her companion in ugliness. "Then I'm glad I am as I am," rejoined Rachel. "This conscious individuality of ours," said Polwarth, after a thoughtful silence, "is to me an awful thing the one thing that seems in humanity like the onliness of God.
Leopold's big eyes went wandering from one to the other of the two men. "What a horrible world it is!" was the thought that kept humming on like an evil insect in Helen's heart. "I am sorry to see you suffer so much," said Leopold kindly, for he heard the laboured breath of the little man, and saw the heaving of his chest. "It does not greatly trouble me," returned Polwarth.

"I am not original in the idea, and scarcely so in my way of expressing it. I am sorry you don't like it, Mr. Drake," he said.
Tell him where to find the key." "I will go myself," she said with a yielding to the inevitable. When she opened the door, there was the little man seated a few yards off on the grass.
