Lady Sefton told me in confidence the other day that as a friend he was neither sincere nor faithful.

The result of my conference was learning that Foster had been the agent of Sefton in a conspiracy against my wife.

In pursuance of the arrangement, I visited Foster the next evening, arriving before Sefton, and going into the next apartment.

There was in Sefton's countenance the expression of deliberate criminality, encouraged by the expectation of an easy triumph.

"I came to find Captain Sefton," was Drennen's slow answer to the lieutenant's challenge.
