Both Lydia and Ferruci have proved beyond all doubt that they were not in Pimlico at the hour of the death.

I believe they contrived this conspiracy, but I don't believe they murdered Clear." "Well, we shall see what defence they make.

But one thing is certain, Lucian--Lydia will have to disgorge the assurance money." "Yes, she certainly will, and I've no doubt the Assurance Company will prosecute her for fraud in obtaining it.

I shall see Ferruci to-morrow and force him to confess his putting your father in the asylum." "No!" said Diana, shaking her head.
