Richard had come more than once to the rescue, but it was impossible to give real help to one of his weak naturealso Richard was still poor, and anxious to pay off his debts to Anne Bardon.Lucy started, and made an involuntary effort to withdraw the hand that Wells had taken; but he held it firmly, while he added,
