ce to the room in which it lay,Artem Anisimov Tröjor, and stood respectfully at the door while I went in alone. The sight I saw has never left me. Go where I will, I see ever before me that pure young face,NHL Mens Edmonton Oilers Black Camo Stack Pullover Hoodie, with its weary look hushed in the repose of death. It haunts me, it accuses me. It asks me where is the noble womanhood that might have blossomed from this sweet bud, had it not been for my pusillanimity and love of life? But when I try to answer, I am stopped by that image of death, with its sealed lips and closed eyes never to open again — never, never, whatever my longing, my anguish, or my despair.
But the worst shock was to come yet. As I left the room and went stumbling down the stairs,Jannik Hansen Tröjor, I was met by the officer and led again into the apartment I had first entered on the ground floor.
“There is some one here,Dmitry Orlov Tröjor,” he began, “whom you may like to question.”
Thinking it to be the woman of the house, I advanced, though somewhat reluctantly,Pavel Bure Tröjor, when a sight met my eyes that made me fall back in astonishment and dread. It was the figure of a woman dressed all in gray, with a dark-blue veil drawn tightly over her features.
“Good God!” I murmured, “who is this?”
“The woman who brought her here,” observed the officer. “Farrell, there, has just found her.”
And then I perceived darkly looming in the now heavy dusk the form of another man, whose unconscious and business-like air proclaimed him to be a member of the force.

“Are you the person who took this young lady from her boarding place?” I asked.
“Yes, sir,” was the reply,Hoodie Tröjor, uttered in smooth but by no means cultivated tones.
“And by what arts did you prevail upon this young and confiding creature to leave her comfortable home and go out into the streets with you?”
She did not speak, she smiled. O heaven! what depths of depravity opened before me in that smile!
“Answer!” the officer cried.
“Well, sir, I told her,Carl Soderberg Tröjor,” she now replied, “that I was such and such a relative,Dan Hamhuis Tröjor, grandmother, I think I said; and being a dutiful child —”
But I was now up close to her side, and, leaning to her very ear I interrupted her.
“Tell me on which side of the hall was the parlor into which you went.”
