"She wrote him, asking him to come back, if he could."
"That is not true. I never saw the letter," he whispered.

"The day she saw me last! The day I met another woman talking to her."
"Yes."
"Was it at the suggestion of that woman she wrote for Sir William to come home?"
"No; that lady did not, as far as I can hear, mention Sir William's name."
"And that was the day," said Grey, letting fall Mrs. Grant's hand and pressing it against his throbbing forehead—"that was the day I forgot the bag. How soon is Sir Alexander expected here?"
