"Yes."
"Then you have not lost her?"
"There is a worse loss than that of death," said Sunlocks.
Jason glanced quickly into his face, and said tenderly, "I know—I understand. There was another man?"
"Yes."
"And he robbed you of her love?" said Jason, eagerly.
"Yes."
"And you killed him?" cried Jason, with panting breath.
"No. But God keep that man out of my hands."
