How much did you tell him, Ellinor ?" "Nothing--nothing, indeed, papa, but what I told you just now!" "Tell it me again--the exact words!" "I will, as well as I can; but it was last August.

I only said, 'Was it right for a woman to marry, knowing that disgrace hung over her, and keeping her lover in ignorance of it ?'" "That was all, you are sure ?" "Yes.

He immediately applied the case to me--to ourselves." "And he never wanted to know what was the nature of the threatened disgrace ?" "Yes, he did." "And you told him ?" "No, not a word more.

He referred to the subject again to-day, in the shrubbery; but I told him nothing more.

You quite believe me, don't you, papa ?" He pressed her to him, but did not speak.
