I think I shall go to Arnold." Sir Patrick took his niece's hand.
"Stop a minute, Blanche.

About Miss Silvester?
Have you heard from her to-day ?" "No.

I am more unhappy about her than words can say." "Suppose somebody went to Craig Fernie and tried to find out the cause of Miss Silvester's silence?
Would you believe that somebody sympathized with you then ?" Blanche's face flushed brightly with pleasure and surprise.

She raised Sir Patrick's hand gratefully to her lips.
"Oh!" she exclaimed.
