Shortly after reading Lady Torrendale’s letter, Arbella called upon Matilda at Woodbine Lodge, but her air was so wild, her countenance so pale and exhausted, that her friend anxiously demanded the cause of her evident agitation of spirits. She threw herself into a chair and after asking for a glass of water, ‘Oh my dear,’ she exclaimed, ‘I have had such a shock; no wonder I look pale; the sight of that man gave me such a turn.’
