Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. 'It is one fact, sir, that I am a widow, ' she said. 'It is another fact, that I am going to be marriedagain.'There she paused, and smiled at some thought that occurred to her. Doctor Wybrow was notfavourably impressed by her smile-there was something at once sad and cruel in it. It came slowly, and it went away suddenly. He began to doubt whether he had been wise in acting on his firstimpression. His mind reverted to the commonplace patients and the discoverable maladies that werewaiting for him, with a certain tender regret.The lady went on.'My approaching marriage, ' she said, 'has one embarrassing circumstance connected with it. Thegentleman whose wife I am to be, was engaged to another lady when he happened to meet with me, abroad: that lady, mind, being of his own blood and family, related to him as his cousin. I haveinnocently robbed her of her lover, and destroyed her prospects in life. Innocently, I say-becausehe told me nothing of his engagement until after I had accepted him.

I too was soft-hearted-I said, Very well: yes In a week more (Itremble as I think of it) we are to be married.'She did really tremble-she was obliged to pause and compose herself, before she could go on.The Doctor, waiting for more facts, began to fear that he stood committed to a long story. 'Forgiveme for reminding you that I have suffering persons waiting to see me, ' he said. 'The sooner you cancome to the point, the better for my patients and for me.'The strange smile-at once so sad and so cruel-showed itself again on the lady's lips. 'Everyword I have said is to the point, ' she answered. 'You will see it yourself in a moment more.'She resumed her narr.…
