Yet Cervera was dressed in an elaborate evening gown, fitted close to her lithe, nervous figure, and augmenting in a marked degree her dangerous, dark beauty. "You know where I am going or should!" she replied, facing Venner, with an odd smile on her red lips. "Not to the diamond plant?" cried he, with a start. "To the diamond plant yes!" "Impossible!"
But the actual rarity occurs, at least in this region, when one finds the smaller and more beautiful Yellow Moccason-Flower, parviflorum, which accepts only our very choicest botanical locality, the "Rattlesnake Ledge" on Tatessit Hill, and may, for aught I know, have been the very plant which Elsie Venner laid upon her school-mistress's desk.
Charles Evors, the only son of the owner of the house. When I come to look at you, Mr. Venner, I confess that your appearance pleases me, but I have had to deal with so many suspicious characters lately that really " "Don't apologise," Venner laughed. "You will have to make the best of me. I came here to-night with Vera to have a thorough explanation of certain matters."
The Author must be permitted, however, to say here, in his personal character, and as responsible to the students of the human mind and body, that since this story has been in progress he has received the most startling confirmation of the possibility of the existence of a character like that which he had drawn as a purely imaginary conception in Elsie Venner. BOSTON, January, 1861.
Surely we have had enough horrors and mysteries, and I can only wonder at the way in which those girls have borne up against all their troubles. Tell me, what are you going to do? I mean as to your future." "Upon my word, I really haven't given it a thought," Venner said.
No, on the whole, you will stay where you are." At this point Venner clutched Gurdon's arm and dragged him hurriedly across the landing down to the half staircase. So quickly was this done that Gurdon had no time to ask the reason for it all. "Someone coming down the stairs," Venner whispered. "Didn't you hear a voice? I believe it is the girl in white again."
I have told Sancho to trust in the justice of Dolores." "He may well do that," returned Milo. "The great Sultana is ever just." "Yes, have no fear, good Sancho. I am Justice itself!" rejoined the mellow voice of Dolores in person, who had a few moments before left Rupert Venner. "Milo, I am minded to give Sancho proof of my mercy, since he already believes in my justice. Open the great chamber.
I feel tolerably sure that this picturesque cripple of ours could tell us everything that we want to know. Besides, unless I do something I shall go mad. What do you say to paying the interesting cripple a visit to-morrow night, and forcing him to tell us everything?" Gurdon shook his head; he was not particularly impressed with the suggestion that Venner had made.
"Shoot him down!" shouted Pearse in horror. And Venner and Tomlin strove for words without success. Venner was dumb and sick in face of Dolores's peril. Yellow Rufe uttered a grim, Satanic growl of laughter, and drew back his arm for the cast.
There came a time when the young gentleman thought he would like to see his cousin again, and wrote inviting himself to the Dudley mansion. Doctor Kettredge could see no harm in the visit when Dudley Venner consulted him. Her father was never easy about Elsie. He could not tell the old doctor all he knew.
