CHAPTER I.

LILLY'S FLIGHT, AND WHITHER IT CONDUCTS HER.

LAMENTABLE as was the spectacle of the murdered woman on the bed, Lilly was naturally too much alarmed for her own safety, and too anxious to provide for it, to spend much time in bewailing the fate of Charlotte Littenhans. She did not doubt that if she were discovered there, she should share the same fate as her cousin, being now doubly obnoxious from the possession of so fatal a secret.
