Chapter XXXIV
SIR CLIFFORD HEATHERCLIFFE. It is the opening hour of Clifford Heath's trial. The court room is crowded to its utmost capacity; never has there occurred a trial there so intensely interesting to all W----. The prisoner is a little paler, a little graver than his ordinary self. But is his ordinary self in every other respect; as proud of bearing, as self-possessed, as handsome, and _distingue_ as ever.
