People know about it--" "What people ?" "The vicar and his wife and Mr.Juxon at the Hall." "Mr.Juxon?

Would he give me up if he knew ?" "I think he would," said Mary Goddard, thoughtfully.

"I am almost sure he would.

He is the justice of the peace here--he would be bound to." "Do you know him ?" Goddard thought he detected a slight nervousness in his wife's manner.
"Very well.

This house belongs to him." "Oh!" ejaculated the convict.
