The utmost that any well-informed person could doubt was whether it had been successfully accomplished as to both the victims. With regard to the confessions of Tyrell and Dighton, Bacon has certainly spoken without warrant in stating that they were examined at the time of Warbeck's appearance.
Stranger things have happened." The girl shook her head. "You didn't go overboard after him?" she asked, quietly. "I did not," said the mate, who was somewhat tired of this tactless question; "I had to stand by the ship, and besides, he was a much better swimmer than I am I did the best I could." Miss Tyrell bowed her head in answer. "Yes," she said, softly.
I have dismissed your Irish maid, and secured a French one to wait upon you; a step rendered necessary by my proposing shortly to visit the Continent with all my family. Your faithful guardian, "ARTHUR TYRELL."
The girl turned quickly, and her face flushed. "How absurd," she said, indignantly, and her manner softened. "Thank you," said Fraser. "If you don't believe it, I don't care what anybody else thinks." Miss Tyrell, looking straight in front of her, stole a glance at this easily satisfied young man from the corner of her eye. "I should never expect to hear of you doing anything wicked," she said.
"I'm afraid not," said Miss Tyrell, even more pensively than before. "Good heavens, I never heard of such a thing," said Fraser; "how ever did you manage to do it?" "I went to lie down a little while on Saturday afternoon," said Poppy, reflectively; "I'd got my box packed and everything ready; when I got up it was past seven o'clock, and then I knew it was no use.

It's rather chilly up here now." The mate showed her below, and, lighting the lamp, took a seat opposite and told her a few tales of the sea, culled when he was an apprentice, and credulous of ear.
This evening, however, the ladies had made their toilet, and the door was opened after a delay merely sufficient to enable them to try and guess the identity of the guest before the revelation. Poppy Tyrell opened it, and turned upon him eyes which showed the faintest trace of surprise. "Good evening," said Fraser, holding out his hand. "Good evening," said the girl.
"If you had a father or a brother they would do it instead," said Fraser, gently; "it's just because you've got nobody else that I'm looking after you." Miss Tyrell, who had softened slightly, stiffened again with temper. "You?" she said, hotly. "What right have you to trouble yourself about me?" "No right at all," said Fraser, cheerfully, "but I'm going to do it.
A suggestion of the mate that he should wave his handkerchief was promptly negatived by Miss Tyrell, on the ground that it would not be the correct thing to do in the upper-circle, and they were still undiscovered when the curtain went up for the second act, and strong and willing hands from behind thrust the skipper back into his seat.
Tyrell. He was popular with the students, and there was some competition to be his clerk. Dr. Tyrell was a tall, thin man of thirty-five, with a very small head, red hair cut short, and prominent blue eyes: his face was bright scarlet.
