Chapter I
By Anna Katharine Green (Mrs. Charles Rohlfs) “A LADY to see you, sir.” I looked up and was at once impressed by the grace and beauty of the person thus introduced to me. “Is there anything I can do to serve you?” I asked, rising. She cast me a child-like look full of trust and candor as she seated herself in the chair I pointed out to her.
