Suraly mortal feelings were never more mixed than Pallip Gower's as he bade the cabman drive at full speed to his uncle's house in Wost bourne Square. It was not many minutes since the last post had brought him from the other end of the world the news that had aroused all the best and the worst elements of his nature in strange
