"It is strange," said the younger lady; "but he still has a boy with him."
"He has?" inquired the other, in surprise.
"The name he calls him is Philip."
"That was the name of the boy who died."
"Are you sure that he died? Are you sure that this is not the same boy?"
"Positive."
"It is very singular. A strange idea has occurred to me."
"What is it?"
"What if he is passing off this boy for the first, in order to retain the liberal income which he received as guardian?"
"But that would be fraudulent."
