27/8 THE COURT OF LONDON ‘Little harlot, who murdered Mrs. Lindley! ’”’ muttered the milliner between her set teeth. “Wife of the Magsman, Joe Warren,” cried Caroline, in a tone of bitter contempt and cutting scorn; ‘‘ your husband was talking of you ere now! ”’ ‘Ah! would’st thou push me to extremes?” said the milliner, in a thick voice; and at the same moment she drew from her person something which flashed brightly across the eyes of Caroline Walters. ‘“ Murderess!’”’ ejaculated the girl, recoiling in dismay from the blow which she saw coming; but the next instant a long sharp-pointed pair of scissors which the milliner wielded was plunged deep into Caroline’s bosom. With a low moan she sank at the feet of the infuriate Mrs. Brace, who was instantaneously seized upon by the turnkey that happened to be nearest at the moment; and while the vindictive woman was dragged away to her gloomy cell, the wounded girl was conveyed with all possible care to the prison infirmary.
