If she meantto come back and sleep in it, again I
ask you, why should she tumble it? I wantno more tragedies in the Chateau Suvlac.
Yes, that is curious, Hanaud agreed, but he did not press Diana withany more
questions. But about herself and her home, you couldnt get herto talk of
them.
Tidon rang the bell and a gendarme conducted his
visitors to the door ofthe Prefecture.
And you came upon her in the Casino, I suppose? I
am obviously unwelcome to MissTasborough. Ricardo pulled his notes out of his pocket
and studied themthoughtfully.
Justice may have need of this young
lady.
They are there, just as valuable as if they had
been made to guide me.
Justice may have need of this young
lady.
Then a light shone in her eyesand the blood rushed
in a torrent into her face.
She has friends, this young lady, he said more to
himself than toany of those behind him. Evelyn could live cheaper on the Continent
than in England.
Itmight be a shock to her if when she does not
expect it I come face toface with her again.
But Hanaud would not hear a word of any such
conduct. He is a renowned physiciandevoted to research.
Marianne, he asked, can you tell me what clothes
are missing from thispoor womans wardrobe? The room, however, was empty, andHanaud
stopped abruptly.
You dont follow me, I am afraid, hesaid coldly. She
will not be missed until the hour of luncheon. Find her for me, whether she be alive
ordead.
D betrayed by a glance of hatred her feelings
towards J.
Justice may have need of this young
lady.
It is right that I have my bags packed and return
toBordeaux.
Sheraised her head, however, without the slightest
embarrassment.
I get the disease andyou give it to me without
knowing what you are doing.
The window was closed and looked upon the avenue
ofdark trees.
The room, however, was empty, andHanaud stopped
abruptly. The lower sheet was flat and tightlystretched over the mattress without a
wrinkle on its surface.
Ricardo, you almost writedown there one most
important question.
He wouldnot have it that Joyce Whipple was
dead.
I want you to spare her memory as much as you can,
Diana resumed in asudden outburst.
What else can wedo when we have no judgment even to
suspend?
If you dealtwith Devenish, you see, you didnt deal
with Dennis Blackett. Soyou see your question, plain and clear now.
But in an affair so serious it is best tobe exact.
