‘Well, what was I to think, miss? Martha never wrote nothing about you, and I
did ask. The library was on the ground floor, Melusine recalled from the previous visit,
for she had searched through a desk in a room filled with bookshelves of leatherbound volumes. “Mr. Capes stood side by side upon an old Persian carpet that
did duty as a hearthrug in the dining-room of their flat and surveyed a shining
dinner-table set for four people, lit by skilfully-shaded electric lights, brightened
by frequent gleams of silver, and carefully and simply adorned with sweet-pea
blossom. But days had
now passed. What was to hinder me, if I had been so
inclined, from directing them to your retreat?"
"Enough," replied Darrell. No instrument I've ever used has
done me such good service. ‘What in God’s name is going on?’
Glancing swiftly towards the doorway, Gerald saw his friend’s disbelieving
face and burst out, speaking over the top of Melusine as she made another grab
for the little square of linen. She's headed for America. I might add that
in any case I should not touch Sir John’s. I don't know what you have done; I don't
want to know now. ”
“Sir John is an ass!” he declared. "I was," answered Sheppard. It isn’t as though I
haven’t done well.
