The Lost Lady of Lone

CHAPTER XV
26/30

This morning she was taken before the sitting magistrate, and examined, and remanded to prison, until she can be carried back to Scotland for trial.

Neither she nor I know at what hour she may be removed, or by what train she may be taken to Scotland.
She may be gone now, for aught I know." "Where is the poor creature now confined ?" inquired Salome, in a dying voice.
"In the Westminster police station-house, my lady, if she has not been already removed.

But I must tell your ladyship--your grace, I mean--how I happen to come to you now.

I was at the West End this morning, my lady, and in returning to the city I passed St.George's Church, Hanover Square, and I saw the pageant of your wedding.

And when I got back to Westminster and looked into the station-house to see my unfortunate mistress, and to help her mind often her own troubles, I told her about the wedding of the Duke of Hereward with the heiress of Sir Lemuel Levison, at St.George's Church, my lady.
