Hugh Murray.

Quick, man; before your sister returns! I must tell you. Renshaw is coming here to-night.

Wilfrid Brudenell.

Renshaw!

Hugh Murray.

I received this note from him five minutes ago—a few lines telling me he has returned to England and entreating me to see him to-night.

Wilfrid Brudenell.

You’ll not meet him!

Hugh Murray.

Why not? The man is suffering; I can read that in his handwriting.
