"Poor Clarence!" exclaimed the lady, really touched as she thought of him. "He has been dreadfully ill ever since that shabby trick which Mr. Torrens played him. For three weeks he was confined to his bed, and was delirious——" "I know all that, Martha," interrupted the baronet somewhat impatiently.

"And you are also aware how cruelly I was discovered and reproached by my nephew Clarence," added Mrs. Slingsby.
