you."
" You have something to tell me," she cried, with a woman's
curiosity.
"I have. Your father, the Duke of London Fields, comes of an

part now. I am here in an official capacity. I dare not leave this
house, because——"
" Yes, yes ! " she cried, impatiently.

of an improvident race, and-"

Lady Blanche had swooned.
