Who had broken faith and told Sir Lyon what had happened?
He supposed it to have been Miss Burnaby.

"Though I was present," he said at last, "I, myself, saw absolutely nothing." "I, too, have heard something of it!" exclaimed Dr.Panton, looking from one of his two now moved, embarrassed, and excited companions to the other.

"And you were actually present when it happened, Varick ?" As the other remained silent, he turned to Sir Lyon.

"What was it exactly Miss Brabazon thought she saw ?" Sir Lyon, after a glance at Varick's pale, set face, was sorry that he had mentioned the curious, painful occurrence; and, though he was a truthful man, he now told a deliberate lie.

"I don't know what the apparition purported to be," he observed.
