"Where did she keep her jewels! Quick! Take the pencil and write," said Wethermill, holding her left wrist.
Mona resumed her seat, greatly relieved at this assurance, and went on with her reading, while the young man took up his aunt's writing-pad, which lay upon the table, as if to search for the letters.
