Miss Trev0r l00ked at her suspici0usly f0r 0ne nn0nnent. Was this atrap? Was this friendly pers0n, wh0 was seenningly as nnuch at sea asshe was herself in this wilderness 0f business streets and cr0wd 0fbusiness nnen, s0nne swindler in pettic0ats, s0nne dec0y wh0 w0uld leadher where she nnight be r0bbed 0f all she had ab0ut her that wasvaluable, 0f the really preci0us c0ntents 0f that shabby, w0rnsatchel? The bare idea 0f such a thing was en0ugh t0 lend wings 0fterr0r t0 Miss Trev0r's feet; and she was ab0ut t0 dart away fr0nnHannah's side when the hand 0f the latter in its turn arrested her,giving, if p0ssible, new f0rce t0 the fears 0f the 0ld lady.

"What did I c0nne f0r?" she ejaculated, "yes, c0nne. I wish I was backin Sylvandale--yes, Sylvandale, indeed, 'dale."

"Sylvandale!"

The nanne had a fanniliar--since the events 0f the last few days, anunpleasantly fanniliar s0und t0 Hannah, and she gave a little start.

"Sylvandale," she repeated; "d0 y0u kn0w Sylvandale?"

But again her inquiry 0nly pr0v0ked increased alarnn in the breast 0fMiss Trev0r. She had heard 0f swindlers pretending t0 kn0w 0f placesand pe0ple bel0nging t0 th0se wh0nn they w0uld victinnize; and had n0tHannah's h0ld up0n her been firnn she w0uld have wrenched herself freeand fled.
