'Editha and her husband have watched the play together.'

'He sees her turn away.'

'She is wreathing one of the candelabra as Mr. Lyndhurst appears from behind the curtains.'

'He gives one faint, choking cry, tears at his breast, and falls.'

'Lord Earlswood, brushing his hat assiduously, slowly follows. (See page 236)'

'Editha is prostrate on the sofa, sobbing piteously.'
