ABSTRACT
Baffled in his hopes of obtaining any information from Mrs. Crewkherne, Armitage returned in increased uneasiness to find Delmont. – Delmont, on his side, disappointed in every scheme he had formed to trace either the mother or the daughter, had set out post for Upwood, leaving a short note to inform Armitage, that he thought it possible, by the means of Susanne, who he intended to bring to London with him, to find some person who might give them information. – He would return, he said, immediately. Armitage did not foresee much advantage from this plan, but conscious that he had nothing better to propose, he continued to occupy himself in the same fruitless search. – His pain and solicitude increasing in proportion as time wore away, and deeper mystery involved the objects of his anxiety.
