In that vision of Jack Belsize I saw misery, guilt, children dishonoured, homes deserted, — ruin for all the actors and victims of the wretched conspiracy. Laura marked my disturbance when we reached home. She even divined the cause of it, and charged me with it at night, when we sate alone by our dressing-room fire, and had taken leave of our kind entertainers. Then, under her cross-examination, I own that I told what I had seen — Lord Highgate, under a feigned name, staying at Newcome. It mig...ht be nothing. ' Nothing 1 Gracious heavens ! Could not this crime and misery be stopped?' 'It might be too late,' Laura's husband said sadly, bending down his head into the fire. She was silent too for a while. I could see she was engaged where pious women ever will betake themselves in moments of doubt, of grief, of pain, of separation, of joy even, or whatsoever other trial. - They have but to will, and as it were an invisible temple rises round them ; their hearts can kneel down there ; and they have an audience of the great, the merciful, untiring Coun- sellor and Consoler.
