Eva's manner was very constrained. At that moment a policeman, followed by Zita, entered, and Zita, running up to Locke, cried, anxiously, "You're not hurt are you?"

She had started to search for him, when there came a terrifying crash at the door and more emissaries, followed by the Automaton, came into the room. The detectives were almost instantly overpowered, and the mob made for the stairs just as Locke was descending. In that narrow space a most terrible battle took place.
Esmé Amarinth and Lord Reggie were busy at the piano, inventing and composing the elevation of "Three blind mice." Lady Locke could hear an odd little primitive sort of tune, and then their voices singing, one after the other, some words. She could only catch a few.
