“Arrangements are being made for the funeral of the dead woman. They will bury her the day after to-morrow in the church-yard at Blackville.”
“And what else?”

“And that is all?”
“Yes.”
“Then come in and see Sybil.”

“Has the murderer been discovered? May we go home?”
“Not yet, dear Madam!” answered Pendleton to both questions, as he sat down by the fire.
