Chapter XIII
I DISPLAY MY INFINITE RESOURCES. THE morrow was full of anxiety and incident. There was a skirmish with my aunt--a diversion to be sure, but one of peril. There was also my distrust. I was compelled to keep an unceasing eye on Mr. Anthony, on Mrs. Emblem, on the soldiers, on my Lady Grimstone, on Captain Grantley and the document he held, and most of all on my own susceptibilities.
