He had not been long at the factory, therefore, on landing after the duel, before Maud sought a private interview with him, on pretext of communicating to him some information that should be of value to him in connection with his official duty. HE HAD NOT BEEN LONG AT THE FACTORY THEREFORE ON LANDING AFTER THE DUEL BEFORE MAUD SOUGHT A PRIVATE INTERVIEW WITH HIM ON PRETEXT OF COMMUNICATING TO HIM SOME INFORMATION THAT SHOULD BE OF VALUE TO HIM IN CONNECTION WITH HIS OFFICIAL DUTY
 whom we have introduced to the reader in this connection, who were fitting companions for each other; but they had not as yet been brought together by any chance so as to understand one another. We refer to Captain Bramble and Maud the Quadroon. Both now hated Captain Ratlin, and would gladly have been revenged in any way for the gratification of their feelings upon her whom he so fondly loved. With this similarity of sentiment it was not singular that they should ere long discover themselves and feelings to each other. Indeed Maud, who had been a secret witness of the deed, already realized that Captain Bramble was the enemy of him whom she had once loved, and whom she now so bitterly despised. Untutored in the ways of the world and fashionable intrigue, yet the Quadroon saw very clearly that through Captain Bramble she might consummate that revenge which she had so signally failed in doing by the agency of the hostile negro tribes she had treacherously brought to her father's doors.
