We must enter into more explanations with him. In the mean time, my dear young lady, it is better that you should obey him for the present, at least so far as retiring from the room," said Doctor Williams.

His mind was fixed steadfastly upon the one immediate problem of his own future. His interview with Rocke had unsettled to a certain extent unnerved him.

Clara, like the author of Robin Hood's Barn, "began at the beginning" of her story, and told everything her betrothal to Traverse Rocke; the sudden death of her father; the decision of the Orphans' Court; the departure of Traverse for the far West; her arrival at the Hidden House; the interruption of all her epistolary correspondence with her betrothed and his mother; the awful and mysterious occurrences of that dreadful night when she suspected some heinous crime had been committed; and finally of the long, unwelcome suit of Craven Le Noir and the present attempt to force him upon her as a husband.

I must have my wife to see it.
"What! say that again!" exclaimed Major Warfield. "I say that I thought she was a proud woman, but " "Thought who was a proud woman, sir?" roared Old Hurricane. "Marah Rocke!" replied the young man, with wonder.
But first I would ask you, Colonel Le Noir, what are those circumstances to which you allude which render Miss Day's residence here, in her patrimonial mansion, with her old and faithful friends, so improper?" inquired Doctor Williams, courteously. "The growing intimacy, sir, between herself and a very objectionable party this young man Rocke!" replied Colonel Le Noir. "Ah! and is that all?"
