Jack had left, Polling laid down on the
hard horsehair sofa, with his hands under
his head, gazing steadfastly at the cell

When Pauline left her husband at the
church door she knew that her schem-

her the agony of mind she was suffer

She had lost Jack. The one pure, I'M
selfish cup of joy she had longed to taste
had been snatched from her lips at the
moment of raising. She was stunned
with despair.
She paced up and down the platform
at Charing Cross station, watching for
Babette and concocting plans for OBJ
tanning what ready money she could be-
fore the grand denouement came. She
knew her jewels must be worth at least
five thousand pounds, and, though some
Of them were heirlooms, and others had
been bought with money obtained by her
dishonesty, she would not scruple to ap-
ply them to her personal use. Then she
would draw at once two thousand from
her bankers. She would go and do this
personally lest they might scruple to pay
so large a sum on a check. And so she
laid her miserable plans, refusing to
listen for one moment to the prompting
of her better nature, which would even
now suggest her return to the husband
whose only sin had been his poverty.
