Chapter XIX
THE DOWNFALL OF PHILOSOPHY. Jack Brownlow was having a very hard time of it just at that moment. There had been a lapse of more than a week, and he had not once seen the fair little creature of whom every day he had thought more and more. It was in vain that he looked up at the window--Pamela now was never there. He never saw her even at a distance--never heard so much as her name.
