"My child, I must go out of your life go and stay. I see I see and I only make you wretched. And I have no right to. It is ignoble. It is I who should bear this burden of sorrow not you.

Within that ten minutes he had heard the whole of the signora's history in such strains as she chose to use in telling it. He learnt from the lady's own lips the whole of that mysterious tale to which the Honourable George had merely alluded.

She was to meet him at Ullathorne on the last day of the present month.
