The Law and the Lady

CHAPTER XIV
3/33

There I passed the first night of my separation from my husband.

Toward the morning my weary brain got some rest--I slept.
At breakfast-time Major Fitz-David called to inquire about me.

He had kindly volunteered to go and speak for me to my husband's lawyers on the preceding day.

They had admitted that they knew where Eustace had gone, but they declared at the same time that they were positively forbidden to communicate his address to any one.

In other respects their "instructions" in relation to the wife of their client were (as they were pleased to express it) "generous to a fault." I had only to write to them, and they would furnish me with a copy by return of post.
This was the Major's news.
