in a contradictory fashion that is no reason that he should shut her in that and set a to keep his eye on her the sealed message n � o his eye on the you say that this girl is like charity the very image of her that is partly why i fell in love so rapidly before you came along i did love charity in a way admired her beauty and all that but somehow she never made my heart beat now is just as lovely as charity and more so no no no growled striking the desk yes yes yes insisted besides there is something in her personality which charity i feel my heart beat and my thrill and my whole being raised to heaven when looks at me so do i when i look at charity retorted the lawyer but for heaven s sake don t let us pit the girls against one another suits you and charity suits me there s no more to be said save that the girls might be i never heard that charity had a twin nor did i but then we don t know charity s history do in part said quickly when mrs was with her own comedy company in india fifteen or sixteen years ago she found charity at the child was then five years of age and belonged to a native woman of the caste native do you mean to say that charity has blood no snapped sharply i don t you have only to look at her to see that she is purely european the native woman confessed to mrs that she had picked up the child from an at for a few the had perhaps stolen the child from some english people or perhaps the mother was dead at any rate the native woman bought the child and the sealed message � taught her to dance in the show she and her husband went round with mrs took a fancy to the child s beauty and bought her from this native woman and adopted her as her daughter in a way she called her charity because of the way in which she was found and bird because of her silvery voice ha started another point of resemblance has a voice like a i must learn s past life these two girls must be connected in some way the resemblance is too wonderful there are chance hinted slowly i but nature doesn t turn out two girls line for line the same unless she sends them into the world as was brought to the s house when she was five years of age but she doesn t remember where she lived before that she is twenty one in ten months by hoisted himself up with a curious look that s odd for charity told me that she would be twenty one next year and then could run away with me perhaps there is something in what you say after all what s to be done pinched his chin let us leave the question of the resemblance alone for the moment what i want you to do is to go to house and look up the wills the wills whose will what will look up any will made by anyone called go back fifteen or twenty years of course said it is only my fancy based upon the few words let drop by mrs but i feel somehow � in my bones as the old women say � that is being kept a prisoner on account of money it s such a wild idea he protested the sealed message wild or not it is six and in your greedy legal pocket might not like my into his private affairs i don t see that need know anything about it said impatiently in fact i want to keep my doings dark in the direction for if there is anything in my belief the major will do his best to queer my pitch if you look up the will of a man or of a woman called cannot say anything as neither you nor i are supposed to know anything about the s house business well nodded and made a note i ll search he assented any will by called man or woman and dated some fifteen or twenty years ago suppose i find nothing and suppose you do retorted his friend rising we are searching for a needle in a remember and must about in every direction we ll look into the money business first and then we can question mrs and as to the possibility of there being any relationship between these two girls see here remarked slowly all this talk is first rate if you were writing a story and knew the end but it seems to me that as we have to deal with real life you are making circumstances to fit in with your theories perhaps i am replied with a shrug but i am so much in love with that i shall move heaven and earth to get her why not be bold and ask straight out then he could tell you the story of the girl s birth and perhaps may explain why she is so like charity if the sealed message this so much that he her up he won t mind your taking her off his hands oh yes he will if money goes with her said grimly i don t want to make think that i am in love the whole business is shady do you mean your love making asked no you my love making is as straight as s ways are crooked do what i say and when we learn if there is a will well we ll know how to move next meanwhile i intend to tell the story that i have told you to mrs but i say she ll go straight and tell no said
