Any other Sunday evening she would have told the landlady something about her motor-ride, for she and Dudley had now been in the same rooms for seven years, and it is quite a fallacy to condemn all London landladies as grasping, bad-tempered tyrants. Hal was quite fond of Mrs. Carr, and had found her unwearingly thoughtful and attentive.
"There is other than he too, for one cometh in the rear whose gait and air are unknown to me the trail hath been struck, and Dudley leadeth a captive!
