Are you mad ?" he continued, gazing fearfully at her.
"I am angry enough to make me so," she replied, shaking her clenched fists at him.

"But I will be revenged--revenged, I tell you." "Revenged!" cried Chowles, in astonishment--"for what! What have I done!" "You do well to affect ignorance," rejoined Judith, "but you cannot deceive me.

No one but you can have done it." "Done what!" exclaimed Chowles, in increased astonishment.

"Has our hoard been discovered ?" "Ay, and been carried off--by you--you!" screamed Judith, with a look worthy of a fury.
"By my soul, you are wrong," cried Chowles.

"I have never touched it,--never even approached the hiding-place, except in your presence." "Liar!" returned Judith, "the whole hoard is gone;--the plunder I obtained in Newgate,--the Earl of Rochester's plate,--all the rings, trinkets, and rich apparel I have picked up since,--everything is gone;--and who but you can be the robber ?" "It is difficult to say," rejoined Chowles.
