When they entered the carriage, Barkstow entered with them and Mademoiselle Valle leaned forward with her elbows on her knees and her face clutched in her hands. She was trying to shut out from her mental vision a memory of Robin's eyes. "If if Fraulein Hirsch is not true," she broke out once. "Count von Hillern is concerned. It has come upon me like a flash. Why did I not see before?"
"We've had our eyes on that house for two weeks, and this kind of thing is what we want." "The double brougham," was Coombe's order to the servant who answered his ring. Then he came back to Mademoiselle. "Mr. Barkstow is a detective," he said. "Among the other things he has done for me, he has, for some time, kept a casual eye on Robin.
She is too lovely a child and too friendless to be quite safe. There are blackguards who know when a girl has not the usual family protection. He came here to tell me that she had been seen sitting in Kensington Gardens with a woman Scotland Yard has reason to suspect." "A black 'un!" said Barkstow savagely.
You will attend to him, Barkstow," and Barkstow nodded and strolled away. Coombe walked up the Place and down on the opposite side until he was within a few yards of the corner house. When he reached this point, he suddenly quickened his footsteps because he saw that someone else was approaching it with an air of intention.
