He
opened
the
box
,
and
tilted
out
the
contents
upon
the
corner
of
my
desk
.
My
hair
rose
and
my
flesh
grew
cold
as
I
looked
.
There
were
twelve
magnificent
square
stones
engraved
with
mystical
characters
.
There
could
be
no
doubt
that
they
were
the
jewels
of
the
urim
and
thummim
.
"
’
Good
God
!
’
I
cried
.
’
How
have
you
escaped
discovery
?
’
"
’
By
the
substitution
of
twelve
others
,
made
especially
to
my
order
,
in
which
the
originals
are
so
carefully
imitated
that
I
defy
the
eye
to
detect
the
difference
.
’
"
’
Then
the
present
stones
are
false
?
’
I
cried
.
"
’
They
have
been
for
some
weeks
.
’
"
We
all
stood
in
silence
,
my
daughter
white
with
emotion
,
but
still
holding
this
man
by
the
hand
.
"
’
You
see
what
I
am
capable
of
,
Elise
,
’
said
he
.
"
’
I
see
that
you
are
capable
of
repentance
and
restitution
,
’
she
answered
.
"
’
Yes
,
thanks
to
your
influence
!
I
leave
the
stones
in
your
hands
,
sir
.
Do
what
you
like
about
it
.
But
remember
that
whatever
you
do
against
me
,
is
done
against
the
future
husband
of
your
only
daughter
.
You
will
hear
from
me
soon
again
,
Elise
.
It
is
the
last
time
that
I
will
ever
cause
pain
to
your
tender
heart
,
’
and
with
these
words
he
left
both
the
room
and
the
house
.
"
My
position
was
a
dreadful
one
.
Here
I
was
with
these
precious
relics
in
my
possession
,
and
how
could
I
return
them
without
a
scandal
and
an
exposure
?
I
knew
the
depth
of
my
daughter
’
s
nature
too
well
to
suppose
that
I
would
ever
be
able
to
detach
her
from
this
man
now
that
she
had
entirely
given
him
her
heart
.
I
was
not
even
sure
how
far
it
was
right
to
detach
her
if
she
had
such
an
ameliorating
influence
over
him
.
