A Strange Story, Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Strange Story, Vol. 2 of 2

The Lawyer came the next day, and almost with a smile on his lips. He brought me a few lines in pencil from Sirs. Ashleigh; they were kindly expressed, bade me be of good cheer; "she never for a moment believed in my guilt; Lilian bore up wonderfully under so terrible a trial; it was an unspeakable comfort to both to receive the visits of a friend so attached to me, and so confident of a triumphant refutation of the hideous calumny - under which I now suffered - as Mr. Margrave!"

The lawyer had seen Margrave again - seen him in that house. Margrave seemed almost domiciled there!

I remained sullen and taciturn during this visit. I longed again for the night. Night came. I heard the distant clock strike twelve, when again the icy wind passed through my hair, and against the wall stood the Luminous Shadow.

"Have you considered?" whispered the voice, still as from afar. "I repeat it - I alone can save you."
