ABSTRACT
Mr. Morley had taken three hours to ruminate on his conduct, when he ordered Mrs. Grimwood to go in search of his wife. ‘I have been rash,’ said he, ‘I have been hasty; she may yet be innocent.’ Lady Pen had not been idle during the morning; she had set a servant to watch lord Francis and Mrs. Morley, and she consequently knew all that had passed at farmer Oldham’s.
