There
is
an
American
colony
,
"
said
Goodwin
,
gazing
at
her
in
some
wonder
.
"
Some
of
the
members
are
all
right
.
Some
are
fugitives
from
justice
from
the
States
.
I
recall
two
exiled
bank
presidents
,
one
army
paymaster
under
a
cloud
,
a
couple
of
manslayers
,
and
a
widow
--
arsenic
,
I
believe
,
was
the
suspicion
in
her
case
.
I
myself
complete
the
colony
,
but
,
as
yet
,
I
have
not
distinguished
myself
by
any
particular
crime
.
"
"
Do
not
lose
hope
,
"
said
the
lady
,
dryly
;
"
I
see
nothing
in
your
actions
to-night
to
guarantee
you
further
obscurity
.
Some
mistake
has
been
made
;
I
do
not
know
just
where
.
But
him
you
shall
not
disturb
to-night
.
The
journey
has
fatigued
him
so
that
he
has
fallen
asleep
,
I
think
,
in
his
clothes
.
You
talk
of
stolen
money
!
I
do
not
understand
you
.
Some
mistake
has
been
made
.
I
will
convince
you
.
Remain
where
you
are
and
I
will
bring
you
the
valise
that
you
seem
to
covet
so
,
and
show
it
to
you
.
"
She
moved
toward
the
closed
door
that
connected
the
two
rooms
,
but
stopped
,
and
half
turned
and
bestowed
upon
Goodwin
a
grave
,
searching
look
that
ended
in
a
quizzical
smile
.
"
You
force
my
door
,
"
she
said
,
"
and
you
follow
your
ruffianly
behaviour
with
the
basest
accusations
;
and
yet
"
--
she
hesitated
,
as
if
to
reconsider
what
she
was
about
to
say
--
"
and
yet
--
it
is
a
puzzling
thing
--
I
am
sure
there
has
been
some
mistake
.
"
She
took
a
step
toward
the
door
,
but
Goodwin
stayed
her
by
a
light
touch
upon
her
arm
.
I
have
said
before
that
women
turned
to
look
at
him
in
the
streets
.
He
was
the
viking
sort
of
man
,
big
,
good-looking
,
and
with
an
air
of
kindly
truculence
.
She
was
dark
and
proud
,
glowing
or
pale
as
her
mood
moved
her
.
I
do
not
know
if
Eve
were
light
or
dark
,
but
if
such
a
woman
had
stood
in
the
garden
I
know
that
the
apple
would
have
been
eaten
.
This
woman
was
to
be
Goodwin
's
fate
,
and
he
did
not
know
it
;
but
he
must
have
felt
the
first
throes
of
destiny
,
for
,
as
he
faced
her
,
the
knowledge
of
what
report
named
her
turned
bitter
in
his
throat
.
"
If
there
has
been
any
mistake
,
"
he
said
,
hotly
,
"
it
was
yours
.
I
do
not
blame
the
man
who
has
lost
his
country
,
his
honour
,
and
is
about
to
lose
the
poor
consolation
of
his
stolen
riches
as
much
as
I
blame
you
,
for
,
by
Heaven
!
I
can
very
well
see
how
he
was
brought
to
it
.
I
can
understand
,
and
pity
him
.
It
is
such
women
as
you
that
strew
this
degraded
coast
with
wretched
exiles
,
that
make
men
forget
their
trusts
,
that
drag
--
"
The
lady
interrupted
him
with
a
weary
gesture
.
"
There
is
no
need
to
continue
your
insults
,
"
she
said
,
coldly
.
"
I
do
not
understand
what
you
are
saying
,
nor
do
I
know
what
mad
blunder
you
are
making
;
but
if
the
inspection
of
the
contents
of
a
gentleman
's
portmanteau
will
rid
me
of
you
,
let
us
delay
it
no
longer
.
"
She
passed
quickly
and
noiselessly
into
the
other
room
,
and
returned
with
the
heavy
leather
valise
,
which
she
handed
to
the
American
with
an
air
of
patient
contempt
.
