CHAPTER IX.
JOHN SALTRAM'S ADVICE.
Mr.Fenton discovered the Bruce family in Boundary-road, St.John's-wood, after a good deal of trouble.

But they could tell him nothing of their dear friend Miss Nowell, of whom they spoke with the warmest regard.

They had never seen her since they had left the school at Lidford, where they had been boarders, and she a daily pupil.

They had not even heard of Captain Sedgewick's death.
Gilbert asked these young ladies if they knew of any other acquaintance of Marian's living in or near London.

They both answered promptly in the negative.
