the gloom through which we had come,
carrying Mr.. Dingley's card with him.
l followed Mr.. Dingley into the great
apartment. which l thought must be
the sala of the house. and sat down in
the midst of its magnificence.
1t was in strange contrast to the
neglect of the garden without; and to
my eyes it was novel in character.

voice, its quite probable this is Just a

The reminder that the Spanish Woman
was going to speak, and the probability
of what that speech might mean was
enough to make me relinquish Mr..
Dingley's coat, and send me in the
wake of the serving man with almost a
light heart.
He led me out of the sala, not by the
curtained way through which we had
