VII.--THE HORROR OF STUDLEY GRANGE.

[Illustration: "THE HORROR OF STUDLEY GRANGE."]


I was in my consulting-room one morning, and had just said good-bye to
the last of my patients, when my servant came in and told me that a lady
had called who pressed very earnestly for an interview with me.

"I told her that you were just going out, sir," said the man, "and she
saw the carriage at the door; but she begged to see you, if only for two
minutes. This is her card."

I read the words, "Lady Studley."
