TALLY forget, for awhile, the heavy
burden he had doomed himself ia
bear.
Yet, had he known how his absence
increased Lisbeth's anxiety probably
he would have gone on enduring the
penance of waiting to the bitter end.
From the moment she saw MIN leave
the court by a side door, her eyes
remain so fixed or that door that she
forgot to look at her fathers face,
and when, at last, the counsel
for the prosecution and defense
having spoken, and the Judge having
summed up, the prisoner was
removed, and the jury retired to
consult over the verdict, Lisbeth
did not even know that they were
gone, but sat on as nj dazed, heI
hands still clasped in her lap. II
was Sir Miles Berkeley who reused
her from her trance.
"You must come out and have
some refreshments" he said; "every-
one is on the move until the court
meets again"
"Where is Sir Clement2" was the
question by which she answered thii
appeal.
AS in a fash the idea seemed tc
come to Sir Miles that the interest
Lisbeth took in Sir Clement wal
unusual.
