Once or twice Hugo had looked around for Satan, and Satan paying no attention, the mastiff trotted on home in disgust.
It was a remark made by Kitty herself at their last interview that had suggested to his mind the whole mad scheme to which he was devoting his mental powers. It all hinged upon the fact that Kitty was going to spend a week with some friends in Edinburgh friends whom Hugo knew only by name. She went to them on the twenty-seventh.
