Chapter XXXIII
TRAPPED. No sooner had the carriage door closed, than Kitty began to question her companion about the accident to her father. Hugo replied with evident reluctance--a reluctance which only increased her alarm. She began, to shed tears at last, and implored him to tell her the whole story, repeating that "anything would be better than suspense." "I cannot say more than I have done," said Hugo, in a muffled voice.
