Excerpt: ...of you. In fact, you had a perfect fascination for me! You have the same fascination now, -only it is a fascination that terrifies me!" I was silent. "The other night," she went on-"when Mr. Santoris first came on board I had a singular impression that he was or had been an enemy of mine, -though where or how I could not say.
