Jones produced a document, duly signed by Hargreave, and witnessed and sealed by a notary, in which it was set forth that Henry Jones, butler and valet to Stanley Hargreave, had full powers of attorney in the event of his (Hargreave's) disappearance; in the event of his death, till Florence became of legal age.
Said Jones as he put the document back in his pocket: "What is your name?"
"Susan Wane."
"Do you love this child?"
"With all my heart, the poor unhappy babe!"
"Thank you!"

"They have not found his body?" asked Florence. "My poor, poor father!"
"No."
"Then he may be alive!"
