“Anything new?” asked Mr. Blodwell.
“No, that’s just it. This is Saturday. I’m to be married on Monday week; and George does nothing.”
“What do you want him to do?”
“Why, to acknowledge himself wrong, as he can’t prove himself right.”
Mr. Blodwell looked at Fitzderham.
“Yes,” said the latter. “It can’t stay as it is. The lady must be cleared, if she can’t be proved guilty. We arrived clearly at that conclusion.”
“We?”
“The committee of the Themis.”
“Oh, ah, yes. And you, Vane?”
“I concur,” said Vane, briefly. “I’ve backed George up to now: but I agree he must do one thing or the other.”
