共 93 题- PREFACE.
- AUTHOR'S NOTE.
- CHAPTER ONE.
- LONDON'S DELIGHT.
- For a few moments she reflected, then exclaimed--
- CHAPTER TWO.
- THIS CRUCIFIX.
- I turned quickly, but saw nothing.
- As she did so, she suddenly burst forth--
- She hesitated, then lifted her eyes again to mine and answered--
- CHAPTER THREE.
- WOMAN'S WORLD.
- I nodded.
- He listened in silence until I had finished, and then I asked him--
- Then, after a pause, he said reflectively--
- I therefore resolved to seek her again, and obtain some explanation.
- CHAPTER FOUR.
- NOT COUNTING THE COST.
- She raised her fine eyes to mine, and after a moment's pause, added--
- I shook my head. Her argument was unconvincing.
- I could scarce believe my own eyes.
- CHAPTER FIVE.
- THE BONY-FACED MAN.
- I sank into a chair close to him and told him of Aline's visit.
- I shrugged my shoulders and gave him a vague reply.
- CHAPTER SIX.
- TWO MYSTERIES.
- CHAPTER SEVEN.
- WHAT ASH KNEW.
- In a few moments the officer made his re-appearance, saying--
- CHAPTER EIGHT.
- WITHIN GRASP.
- The Coroner took it, and then remarked--
- He reflected, then answered--
- CHAPTER NINE.
- MRS POPEJOY'S STATEMENT.
- I stood dumbfounded.
- Turning to Mrs Popejoy, I inquired--
- A silence fell between us. At last I spoke again, saying--
- CHAPTER TEN.
- IN DUDDINGTON.
- CHAPTER ELEVEN.
- PURELY CONFIDENTIAL.
- I told myself that I had always loved Muriel, that I loved her still.
- I was silent, unable to reply to such an argument.
- CHAPTER TWELVE.
- I was puzzled.
- CHAPTER THIRTEEN.
- THE OLD LOVE AND THE NEW.
- I drew back crushed and humiliated.
- I could not bear her reproaches; her words cut me to the quick.
- She glanced at the clock upon the mantelpiece, exclaiming--
- I said nothing, but taking the note, slowly tore it into tiny fragments.
- CHAPTER FOURTEEN.
- JACK YELVERTON'S CONFESSION.
- I remarked upon his apparent apathy, and in reply he said--
- CHAPTER FIFTEEN.
- A STRANGE ASSERTION.
- I knew not what to think.
- She met my gaze with a strange, determined look, answering--
- I nodded in the affirmative, then said--
- CHAPTER SIXTEEN.
- ROCKS AMONG PEBBLES.
- But she shook her head, answering--
- I paused. Again our eyes met.
- I asked in wonderment.
- I dashed up to greet her, but next second drew back.
- CHAPTER SEVENTEEN.
- AFTER BUSINESS HOURS.
- She was silent a moment, then in a faltering voice, replied--
- I started at the firmness of this response, looking at her in dismay.
- CHAPTER EIGHTEEN.
- THE CHALICE.
- CHAPTER NINETEEN.
- THE RESULT OF THE COMPACT.
- But he shook his head gloomily, answering--
- I held my breath, scarcely believing my eyes. It was Muriel.
- CHAPTER TWENTY.
- ONE MAN'S HAND.
- I sat staring at her in amazement. I had never thought of that.
- CHAPTER TWENTY ONE.
- SILENCE.
- She raised her beautiful eyes for a moment to mine, then said simply--
- CHAPTER TWENTY TWO.
- TO SEEK THE TRUTH.
- CHAPTER TWENTY THREE.
- IN THE SHADOW.
- Jack whispered an inquiry to her, but gripping his arm, she answered--
- CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR.
- THE EVIL-DOERS.
- I was a pretty dead shot, and at that moment was desperate.
- CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE.
- CONCLUSION.
