e ne vois pas la necessité,said he,http://www.peoplesearchengines.org/ in that low,restrained tone of bitter sarcasm which made his invective so dreaded by opposing counsel. If Gouverneur Hildreth finds himself in an unfortunate position,he has only his own follies and inordinate desire for this woman's death to thank for it. Because you love him and compassionate him beyond all measure,that is no reason why you should perjure yourself,and throw the burden of his shame upon a man as innocent as Mr. Mansell.
But this tone,though it had made many a witness quail before it,neither awed nor intimidated her.
You - you do not understand,came from her white lips. It is Mr. Hildreth who is perfectly innocent,and not -- But here she paused. You will excuse me from saying more,she said. You,as a lawyer,ought to know that I should not be compelled to speak on a subject like this except under oath.
Imogene!A change had passed over Mr. Orcutt. Imogene,do you mean to affirm that you really have charges to make against Craik Mansell; that this evidence you propose to give is real,and not manufactured for the purpose of leading suspicion aside from Hildreth?
It was an insinuation against her veracity he never could have made,or she have listened to,a few weeks before; but the shield of her pride was broken between them,and neither he nor she seemed to give any thought to the reproach conveyed in these words.

Why did she pause.What was it she found so hard to speak.Mr. Orcutt's expression became terrible.
But the other,she murmured at last.
The other!
It was now her turn to start and look at him in surprise,if not in some fear.
What other.he cried,seizing her by the hand. Name him. I will have no further misunderstanding between us.
Is it necessary.she asked,with bitterness. Will Heaven spare me nothing.Then,as she saw no relenting in the fixed gaze that held her own,whispered,in a hollow tone: You have just spoken the name yourself - Craik Mansell.
