There was a certain kinship of spirit
between the two. Sartoris was cool and
incisive-so was the woman. Sartoris had
not hesitated al much to gain his small
sporting ends neither would she. He was
now on the point of anything criminal
that would advance his pocketbool1, so

known one another intimately in London
in certain society in which Mrs
p'Aquila was now at home. and which
Sartoris sought occasionally.
They had heard the verdict of the CON

Much of the immediate past would be as
nothing to him. Probably he would not
