As they reached the inn door, the faint light from the coffee-room encircled them. Maurice was white to the lips. He looked at Lily without speaking, and he was trembling. "Wasn't there anything?" he whispered. "Is it here too?
It is all a mystery to me after I left you on the hotel balcony." The tears stood in her eyes suddenly uplifted to his, and impulsively the man encircled her with his arm.
