Father!

Aubrey.

You must trust me, Ellean; you must try to understand the depth of my love for you and the—the agony it gives me to hurt you. You must trust me.

Ellean.

I will, father; but you must trust me a little too. Circumstances connected with Captain Ardale's career?

Aubrey.

Yes.

Ellean.

When he presents himself here to-morrow of course you will see him and let him defend himself?

Aubrey.
