vigilance and intelligence Of Miss Clare,
joined to . certain soothing influence which
she exercised over every one of her patients,
he did not believe he could have brought
Mrs. Morley through. Then, indeed, he
changed his tone 10 her, in a measure, still
addressing her as from a height Of superi.

"You owe me nothing, Mr.. Morley" she
said.
"Owc you nothing. owe You more than
