#Chapter30

A TERRIBLE REVELATION.

Rosamond Lee stared hard at the lovely girl as she advanced toward where she sat.

/"Where have I seen that face before?/" she asked herself, in wonder. /"Come and sit down beside me,/" she said, with a winning smile, as she made room for her on the divan. /"I would like so much to talk with you.

/"I have heard all of your story,/" she continued, /"and I feel so sorry for you! I sent for you to tell you if there is any way that I can aid you in searching for your sister, I shall be only too happy to do so./"

/"The young girl you speak of is not my sister,/" corrected Margaret; /"but I love her quite as dearly as though she were./"

/"Not your sister?/" repeated Rosamond.

/"No,/" was the answer; /"but I love her quite as much as though she were./"

/"Tell me about her./"

Margaret leaned forward, thoughtful for a moment, looking with dreamy eyes into the fire.
