"But you said `either,'" cried Kate, anxiously. "Yes; either that he had persuaded you to elope with him, or he had climbed to your window and by some means forced you to come away." "What madness!" cried Kate. "Yes, and there's more behind; they accuse me of conniving at it, and say they are sure you are married, and that I know where you are." "Mr Dasent!" exclaimed Kate, gazing at Garstang wonderingly.
