How is Ada?

She passed a very restless night, poor dear, very restless; and is fit for nothing this morning. Indeed, I am almost in the same state myself, I have been so terribly upset by this affair, and my nerves are very delicate. Most trying too! I have had to put off our _réunion musicale_ for next Thursday, and the Denison's dinner-party for to-morrow. I can't think how Hugh came to do it--for of course he _must_ have done it, though Ada won't hear a word against him.

He did _not_ do it, Mrs. Leslie! Ada is right, as she always is.

Ah! well, so Lister Wilmot tried to make me believe; but then he says everything is against poor Hugh, and that even you feel obliged to give evidence against him. I must say, John Kavanagh, that I think it very strange of you to have volunteered to give evidence. Wilmot was explaining it all to us, and said you couldn't help yourself; for the first words you had said to the policeman when he came to you criminated your friend.
