"In Naples."
"It's a very pleasant place."
"Too pleasant to leave."
"By-the-way," said Lord Chetwynde, after a pause, and speaking with assumed indifference, "were you ever able to find out any thing about--Miss Lorton?"
His indifference was but poorly carried out. At the mention of that name he stammered, and then stopped short.
But Obed did not notice any peculiarity.
He answered, quickly and earnestly:
"It's that very thing, Windham, that has brought me here. I've left her in Naples."
"What?" cried Lord Chetwynde, eagerly; "she is with you yet, then?"
"Yes."
