Miss Bretherton

CHAPTER IX
7/27

Beside him lay two miniature cases open; one of them was the case which Eustace had received from his sister's hand on the afternoon before her death, and both of them contained identical portraits of Marie in her first brilliant womanhood.
'Do you remember them ?' Paul said in his husky Voice, pointing them out to him.

Tell Miss Bretherton its history.
She will prize it.
