Betty came to him in the librarya few minutes before nine.
Slowly every tinge of colour ebbed out of Bettys face.
Itsimportant that he should know nothing about Anns flight until latetomorrow.
This room is not unwatched, replied Hanaud. But her murder was part of the activitiesof a gang. Forty kilometres, and we have covered them in fortyminutes, so that you can see the going is good. But he admits he put it back, said Jim slowly.
To me, replied Jim, and Betty laughed bitterly.
The little saucer was turned upside down to show that heowed nothing.
It tried to be a valley and succeeded in being adepression. The lightdied out of her dark, haunting eyes.
He strained his eyesand ears for some evidence of spies upon their heels.
But here in France its different, isnt it? Then, with a swift change of mood, he came backto the table.
Another argument flashed into his thoughts. He struck a match viciously and lit a cigarette. For Hanaud laid down his pen again and said inominous tones; The water - lily, eh?
Forty kilometres, and we have covered them in fortyminutes, so that you can see the going is good. Yes, and she stretched out a hand to the back of a chair and steadiedherself. Let me look at you, she said, and having looked, she added: Jim,something has happened tonight. Across their road a broad highway set with kilometrestones ran north and south.
If Hanaud thinks her innocent, she should stay.
She sat, a figure of ice - except for her eyeswhich blazed. We shall do as much for him, said Betty, looking over her shoulder fromthe steering - wheel. Betty shot a quick glance atJim Frobisher and coloured when he intercepted it.
They had allbeen together in the garden this morning.
Yes, at once and as secretly as possible.
And the telegram was pieced together by two strips of stamp - paper in across. Itsimportant that he should know nothing about Anns flight until latetomorrow.
I dontunderstand one word of it, he cried. Betty once more consulted herspeedometer. But he admits he put it back, said Jim slowly. Jim Froblsher left him standing in the middle of the room.
Go tomorrow to the church of Notre Dame and look atthe facade.
Jim turned the proposal over in his mind whilst Betty waited in suspense.
Frobisher was taken completely by surprise.
He could feel the heave of her bosom against his heart.
