FLIGHT.
That Douglas had spoken out of the fury of his heart and, consequently, without thought, was, however, very apparent at once; for when Kate had quitted the room, leaving Fordingbridge free from the grasp of the former--since Douglas, a second after he had seized him, flung him trembling and shivering on the couch--Sir Charles Ames spoke and said, as he drew Sholto aside to where the other would not hear them:
"It would indeed serve the scoundrel right if he were treated as you suggest.
Only, unfortunately, it is not possible.
First of all, I believe this insinuation is a lie."
