-views, Mrs.. Bond led her lover to un-

that hcr assistonce would be of materi-

She tiegnieced_ in the pr poeition, and

and believing that her release would;
in some way secure his, *asked his law-

by discovering that, thecommitment
.detaining her contained a flaw that
made it ; unwilluig to go, she
still bad to subinit to his persistent re-
quests to get her. -to see her friends in

on the, scene, and while pertending o
