Alick

But for the first time in his life Alick stood out against her insistance, and his will conquered hers.

Soon after madame's death and Leam's transfer from home to school Alick had a strange and sudden illness.

Alick turned his eyes away from the girl's face, and looked mournfully out onto the autumn woods.

Alick Corfield, who understood it all, was not called as a witness, and he told no one what he knew.

She mainly devoted herself to Fina and some books lent her by Alick, and kept the house with strange persistency.
