“ I felt impelled to relate to him the whole story of my own adventures, but I hesitated. As a matter of fact I feared that he might regard it, as he most probably would have done, as a mere chimera of my own imagination.A girl I had seen dead—or believed I had seen dead—was now living! And she was Gabrielle Tennison. ”

“ You are my enemy—you are here to kill me!”“To kill you, Miss Tennison!” I gasped. “No, I am certainly not your enemy. I am your friend!”She looked very hard at me, and I noticed that her lips twitched slightly.“You—you are Mr. Garfield—Hugh Garfield?” she asked, her hands quivering nervously.“Yes. That is my name,” I replied. “How do you know it?”“They—they told me. They told me in Florence. The doctor pointed you out. He told me that you were my worst enemy—that you intend to kill me!”“Doctor Moroni told you that?” I inquired kindly. ”

Often she will utter no other words than those. She was seen by a number of eminent men, but nobody could suggest any cause other than shock. ”
