Thereupon Fanny proceeded to describe Mr. William Champneys to the best of her ability. "Your description tallies exactly with that of Evan Wildash, as given me at Solchester. And now that I begin to call things to mind, I am nearly sure I was told by somebody that Mr. Champneys, Denia's uncle, was a bachelor. Can it be possible that the man she introduced to you as her cousin was none other than Evan Wildash himself? It would be just like one of Denia's _supercheries_ if it were so." It was a question to which no answer was ever forthcoming. PRINTED BY SPOTTISWOODE AND CO., NEW-STREET SQUARE LONDON
