We refer to Maud Leonardo. She had found lodgings in an obscure residence in the town during the course of the trial, and had resolved to remain until the sentence was given (of the result of which no one doubted), and even until the detail of that sentence should be executed, which she had already, learned would doubtless be death by hanging at the yard arm of the ship in which he was confined. Poor girl! WE REFER TO MAUD LEONARDO SHE HAD FOUND LODGINGS IN AN OBSCURE RESIDENCE IN THE TOWN DURING THE COURSE OF THE TRIAL AND HAD RESOLVED TO REMAIN UNTIL THE SENTENCE WAS GIVEN OF THE RESULT OF WHICH NO ONE DOUBTED AND EVEN UNTIL THE DETAIL OF THAT SENTENCE SHOULD BE EXECUTED WHICH SHE HAD ALREADY LEARNED WOULD DOUBTLESS BE DEATH BY HANGING AT THE YARD ARM OF THE SHIP IN WHICH HE WAS CONFINED POOR GIRL
 His rage knew no bounds; he saw at once that he was foiled completely, that he could do nothing towards his arrest, even, without casting such dishonor upon his own name as would publicly disgrace him for all time to come. In vain were all his efforts to discover the guilty assistants or assistant of the prisoner, as it was not known at what hour he escaped. Even the three sentinels on duty at the time could not be identified, though Leonard Hust's friend, Bill, did more than suspect that some trick had been played upon him during his watch; but he could say nothing about the matter without making such a case of self-crimination as to ensure punishment, and that, too, of the most sanguinary character. Leonard Hust knew this, and feared him not. There was another party sadly disappointed in this state of affairs, one who only assumed sufficient importance to be noticed when her services were needed, but she nevertheless felt and suffered, probably, as much as any one of our characters.
