"No Richard Wardour in the boat," said Mrs. Crayford. "No Richard
Wardour on the shore. Let this be a lesson to you, my dear. Never
be foolish enough to believe in presentiments again."

Clara's eyes still wandered suspiciously to and fro among the
crowd.

"Are you not satisfied yet?" asked Mrs. Crayford.

"No," Clara answered, "I am not satisfied yet."

"What! still looking for him? This is really too absurd. Here is
my husband coming. I shall tell him to call a cab, and send you
home."

Clara drew back a few steps.

"I won't be in the way, Lucy, while you are taking leave of your
good husband," she said. "I will wait here."

"Wait here! What for?"

"For something which I may yet see; or for something which I may
still hear."

"Richard Wardour?"

"Richard Wardour."
