In the garage I had placed a good suit of clothes and other necessities, and by telephone I had secured a room at a West-End hotel. The cab returned to the stable, I locked the door, and by the light of one of the lamps, shaved off my beard and moustache.

He then went to his bedroom and deliberately shaved off his disguising beard. Had he not been so preoccupied in one thought, he might have been conscious of loud voices in the street and a hurrying of feet on the wet sidewalk. But he was possessed by only one idea. He must see his wife that evening!

Left alone I betook me to my razors and shaved me with unwonted care, yet hearkening for her quick, light step the while. Scarce was my labour ended that I thought to hear the rustle of leaves and hasted from the cave, calling on her name and mighty joyous and eager: "Damaris! Art here at last, dear my lady!"
