Of the manner in which the communication reached Lucy, we need not speak; suffice it to say, that on the day in which she had performed the last duty to her uncle, she learned for the first time her lover's situation. On that evening, in the convict's cell, the cousins met. Their conference was low, for the jailer stood within hearing; and it was broken by Lucy's convulsive sobs.
