Barraclough threw open the door and came into the room. He was in trousers and a shirt and was fastening a tie. "Well?" "It's Miss Irish, sir. I said you were out but she didn't believe me. Insisted on coming in." "Lord, that's awkward. Where did you leave her?" "The smoking room." "Say what she wanted?" "To see you, sir very imperative." Barraclough bit his moustache and glanced at the clock.
"What was it you were saying? A man of yours saw Barraclough? Was that all he did?" "Not a very smart man that." "But you've others smarter?" "Mus' not let ourselves be beat, y'know."

"You're not Anthony Barraclough!" "I am. I am." "No!" She seized him by the shoulders and stared into his face. "You're different, your eyes, your mouth. Who are you?" "Anthony Barraclough!" he cried. "It's not true. Anthony would never have stood this. The men, yes. The torture, yes, but he always gives way to a woman. Who are you?"
