Gerald Alderley stepped out of a house he had been visiting in Hamilton Place
and the door closed behind him. It was the gratification of an immense necessity. Pity he's ta'en to bad ways so airly. And the
sergeant, having carried out all Melusine’s instructions as if they had come out
of his own head, went up to check on his patient, apparently at last convinced
that his prisoner would not attempt to run away. Lucy’s bright tones pursued her. “No, I am alone,” she answered. ‘Why did you kiss me?’
‘I don’t know,’ Gerald admitted. You are afraid of the
warmth in your blood. Curses

snorting and shivering, as if still under the influence of some unaccountable
alarm; "what can ail him?"
"I know what ails him, your honour," rejoined the groom, riding up as he spoke;
"he's seen somethin' not o' this world. Could you come to tea at my rooms one
afternoon, or would you dine with me somewhere, and do a theatre? We could
have a private room, of course, if you do not wish to be seen about London, and
a box at the theatre. At this juncture, the door was opened by Rachel. Suddenly she had become afraid. There was a brief pause, a crowded pause, between them. But it is no longer necessary.
