not help asking myself, were we acting
a charade? e? or was the whole scene a

he have been an accepted visitor at their

gone before Mr.. Green came down
again. In my impatience to complete
the disguise l ran down to the kitchen
and returned with the beer jug, in
which Mary was in the habit of fetch
ing the ale for supper, about this hour,
and hoped he might be taken for her if
any watchers were about and saw it in
his hand. A minute more and the door
closed on him; while, had he been an
injured and innocent man. l do not
think my sympathies could have been
more excited in favor of his escape.
