Nighttime Break In Reveals Doctor's Hidden Hoard
A burglar narrator infiltrates the Squires mansion through a cupola to recover treasure hidden in an upstairs room. He finds silver, gold, jewels, and heirlooms, pockets a few items, and secures the entry to avoid suspicion. He faces the risk of discovery but leaves with the secret intact and moral conflict growing. He later saves Miss Stetson from a runaway horse and pledges to earn her trust for unknown future demands. The chapter ends with a hinted request to test her faith.
