"Then I do urge you to have a care of Miss Gabrielle," I exclaimed. "If it is known, as it may be, that I have been here, an effort will surely be made to close the mouth of one or other of us. These men are desperate. I have already proved them so. Therefore we must take every precaution against surprise." "Why not go to the police?" suggested Mrs. Tennison.
"That I am striving with all my might to establish," I answered. "If I can only obtain from your daughter the true facts concerning her adventures on that fatal night last November, then it will materially assist me towards fixing the guilt upon the person I suspect. In this I beg your aid, Mrs. Tennison," I said.
Thomas Bray, his commissary in Maryland, furnished him with one suited to excite sympathy and compassion in every pious and generous breast. At length Dr. Tennison, archbishop of Canterbury, undertook the laudable design, applied to the crown, and obtained a charter incorporating a society for the propagation of the gospel in foreign parts.
"I am striving to solve the mystery of what occurred on the night of November the seventh of what occurred to your daughter, as well as to myself." Mrs. Tennison endeavoured to obtain from me a description of my adventure, but I managed to evade her questions. "I wonder why Doctor Moroni warned Gabrielle against you?" she remarked presently.

He gave practically no hope of her recovery. The dose of orosin that had been administered was, he declared, a larger one than that which De Gex had introduced into my drink on that night of horrors.
I am not an emotional man, neither am I an ideal lover. I am only a mere man-of-the-world. Hence perhaps the reader will forgive me if I fail to describe all the ecstasy of affection which I experienced at that moment. I loved Gabrielle Tennison with all my soul, and I now knew that she loved me. That surely was all-sufficient!
"But had you no suspicion of any person posing as her friend?" "None. It was not till six days later about one o'clock in the day, when a constable called and told Mrs. Tennison that a young lady answering the description of her daughter had been found at the roadside, and had been taken to the cottage hospital at Petersfield.
That was one of the main points of the problem which, try how I would, I failed to grasp. Would the enigma ever be solved? As she stood in her mother's cosy little drawing-room Gabrielle Tennison presented a strangely tragic figure. In the grey London light she was very beautiful it was true, but upon her pale countenance was that terribly vacant look which was the index of her overwrought brain.
He was examined on Monday, and orders were given for his execution on Wednesday. Thus may the most innocent actions of a man's life be sometimes turned to his disadvantage. Turner and Ken, the Bishops of Ely and of Bath and Wells, were ordered to wait on him. But he called for Dr. Tennison. The bishops studied to convince him of the sin of rebellion.
