Did Faith know? Luke Claridge was gone without speaking, but had Soolsby told Faith? How closely had he watched the faces round him at Luke Claridge's funeral, to see if they betrayed any knowledge! Anxious days had followed that night in the laboratory.
But when I heard you'd returned I gave it up and came back. I knew so well you'd want looking after." "And who told you I'd returned?" "Carthew, of course! You're a very peculiar pair, you two. When I first saw him Carthew gave me to understand he'd left you at Frinton. But when I see him again I learn that you're in town and that you spent last night at Claridge's.
That at the last, after everything!" "Yes, just that," remarked Clancey. "So you introduced him to Madame de Corantin?" "Not because I wanted to," replied Bobby. "And she has been with him ever since?" "Oh, I don't know that." "But she was with him last night at the Savoy?" "Yes. Damn him! I must be off now. Clancey, really, I'm awfully obliged to you."

That would have made for insomnia. The question of Mrs. Clarke could easily wait till the autumn, when Rosamund would be back in town. It was impossible for the two women to know each other when the one was at Claridge's and the other at Westgate. Things would arrange themselves naturally in the autumn. Dion never said to himself that Rosamund did not intend to know Mrs.
He went to Claridge's in inquire for Miss Van Tuyn. On ascertaining that she was not at home he sent up his name to Miss Cronin, who was practically always in the house. At any rate, Braybrooke, who had met her several times at Miss Van Tuyn's apartment in Paris, had understood so from herself.
