"Have you paid for it?"
"I have, if that's any consolation to you."
"And you wish me to believe that? I wonder where you got the money from?"
"It was my money. I am not without means," she answered indignantly.
He laughed as he got up, but there was an evil look in his eyes.
"I'll go. I don't wish to interfere with your pleasures, or any conquests you may make, but I've not done with you, I promise you that," said Bellshaw.

Her heart beat fast. She felt faint. It was a trying moment.
Glen Leigh might see him leave the house, but he would not know who he was; if Bellshaw saw him there was no telling what might happen.
Bellshaw passed the door of the room, opened the front door, and walked away without saying another word, or even raising his hat. It was a tremendous relief now he was gone; she waited a few minutes to regain her composure, and then with a faint smile, entered the front room.
