crossing as she tried to focus upon the crunch of leaves as
she lay heaving upon them, dampening them further with
the outpouring of her sweat as it leaked from her

perhaps, in her desire to play an adequate part in the conversation, she had talked
rather more freely than she ought to have done, and given him a wrong
impression of herself. Was
there anything at all in those locked rooms of her aunt’s mind? Were they fully
furnished and only a little dusty and cobwebby and in need of an airing, or were
they stark vacancy except, perhaps, for a cockroach or so or the gnawing of a
rat? What was the mental equivalent of a rat’s gnawing? The image was going
astray. But in his presence a wall of
diffidence and timidity encompassed her. . Sheppard's conduct, from my own personal knowledge,
has been unexceptionable for the last twelve years. It would seem, from the attention which he evidently bestowed upon the hidden

his chief object in taking up his quarters in the Mint, must have been to obtain
some private information respecting the habits and practices of its inhabitants, to
be turned to account hereafter.
