I recognised the young woman, as your ladyship may remember, when she brought the washing-book into this room.

Up to that time I was inclined to doubt whether Miss Verinder had trusted her secret to any one.

When I saw Rosanna, I altered my mind.

I suspected her at once of being privy to the suppression of the Diamond.

The poor creature has met her death by a dreadful end, and I don't want your ladyship to think, now she's gone, that I was unduly hard on her.
