Lawrence from the room, up a wide, richly carpeted stair-way, to a large, sunny apartment which overlooked the busy street. It was a very pleasant room, and furnished with every luxury and device to amuse, that the most exacting nature could desire. In a large, richly upholstered chair, by one of the windows, sat a very pretty girl of about twelve years.
The last pitch was so steep as to be formed into a sort of stair-way, up which the groaning mules toiled with difficulty. This labor overcome, the party stood on the highest point of the pass. Another minute brought them to the door of the convent. Shakspeare. The arrival of Sigismund's party at the hospice preceded that of the other travellers more than an hour.
But, the way opened, the Doctor's horse switched his tail and was off, the stranger was left behind, and the next moment the Doctor stepped across the sidewalk and went up the stairs of Number 3-1/2 to his office. Something told him we are apt to fall into thought on a stair-way that the stranger was looking for a physician.
It was not a moment too soon, for the opposite door, which led to the private stair-way, had barely closed after him ere the sound of approaching footsteps was plainly heard hurrying quickly toward the library. In that instant Hubert Varrick who had been dazed by his fall, and the terrible blow on his head caused by striking it against the mantel was struggling to a sitting posture.

Knowin' that he's safe 'll do him more good, even, than fresh air an' sunshine an' oh Lord! how good fresh air an' sunshine 'll be, if ever we do strike 'em again!"
