She therefore found one for herself, an artist who taught her nothing very new, but who carried her off to offer her half of what he possessed, that is to say nothing. At the end of three months, having had enough of it, she left the nest of her first love, with all she possessed tied up in a cotton pocket handkerchief.
With a shaking hand she began fumbling about her belt for her handkerchief. "Sometimes I feel as if I was doing wrong," she faltered. "I love you, I've told you so but but Lorry's not like anybody else anyway to me. And to keep on telling her what isn't true makes me feel like like a yellow dog!" The last words came on a breaking sob, and the handkerchief went up to her face. Mayer was frightened.
The other members of the party seemed to feel the same way, for the revelation of the dreadful plot and the death of Samuel Tolford, known as Big Bob, had cast a gloom over the party which not even the clearing up of the mystery could shake off. "This is the end of the case," Frank Shaw said, covering the face of the dead man with a handkerchief.
"What a meddlesome fellow!" Lessingham grumbled, holding his handkerchief to his forehead. "Oh, please be serious!" Helen begged, looking up from the bandage which she was preparing. "This is horrible!" "Don't I know it!" Philippa groaned. "Mr. Lessingham, you must please try and escape from here. You can have the car, if you like.

After that second look, she was not so sure of making it all right with madame.
Winifred carefully shut the door and passed her handkerchief over her lips; inhaling the violette de Parme with which it had been soaked, Val thought: 'Has she found out about Holly? Her voice interrupted "Are you going to be nice to me, dear boy?" Val grinned doubtfully. "Will you come with me this morning...." "I've got to see...." began Val, but something in her face stopped him.
His thrills he kept to himself. And a mildly disturbing sensation passed through him now, when he found that unconsciously his fingers had twined themselves about the little handkerchief in his pocket. He drew it out and made a sudden movement as if to toss it overboard.
"I will gladly remain and hear it," I said, sitting down again by her side. "My past has been very sad, as you say, Richard, but you do not know all," and here she put her handkerchief to her eyes.
She did not look at the police officials as they entered, but Hazel glanced towards them, and her eyes fell on the revolver and handkerchief which Merrington carried in his hand. It seemed to Caldew that her face remained unmoved. Merrington walked over to her. "You must consider yourself under arrest on a charge of murdering Mrs. Heredith," he said, in quiet, almost conversational tones.
And down came a great tear into the red trimming of British North America, and Kate unadvisedly trying to wipe it up with her handkerchief, made a red smear all across to Cape Verd! Formerly she would have exclaimed at once; now she only held up the other side of the book that her aunt might not see, and felt very shabby all the time. But Lady Barbara was reading over a letter, and did not look.
