Why
should
I
?
You
are
welcome
to
know
that
the
gentleman
,
who
was
with
me
,
was
Mr
Maurice
Gerald
.
"
The
answer
causes
surprise
,
and
something
more
.
There
is
a
show
of
scorn
,
not
unmixed
with
indignation
.
There
is
one
on
whom
it
produces
a
very
different
effect
--
the
prisoner
at
the
bar
--
who
looks
more
triumphant
than
any
of
his
accusers
!
"
May
I
ask
if
this
meeting
was
accidental
,
or
by
appointment
?
"
"
By
appointment
.
"
"
It
is
a
delicate
question
,
Miss
Poindexter
;
you
will
pardon
me
for
putting
it
--
in
the
execution
of
my
duty
:
--
What
was
the
nature
--
the
object
I
should
rather
term
it
--
of
this
appointment
?
"
The
witness
hesitates
to
make
answer
.
Only
for
an
instant
.
Braising
herself
from
the
stooping
attitude
she
has
hitherto
held
,
and
casting
a
careless
glance
upon
the
faces
around
her
,
she
replies
--
"
Motive
,
or
object
,
it
is
all
the
same
.
I
have
no
intention
to
conceal
it
.
I
went
into
the
garden
to
meet
the
man
I
loved
--
whom
I
still
love
,
though
he
stands
before
you
an
accused
criminal
!
Now
,
sir
,
I
hope
you
are
satisfied
?
"
"
Not
quite
,
"
continues
the
prosecuting
counsel
,
unmoved
by
the
murmurs
heard
around
him
;
"
I
must
ask
you
another
question
,
Miss
Poindexter
.
