A drizzling rain had begun when towards eight o'clock they heard the sound of a motor coming up the Bettws road. Lucy retreated into the inn, while Helena stood at the gate waiting. Buntingford waved to her as they approached, then jumped out and followed her into the twilight of the inn parlour.
I found that Cyril and his strange companion were staying at 'The Royal Oak, at Bettws y Coed. They asked me to join them, but when I told them I 'could not leave my people, who were encamped about two miles off, Cyril again looked at me with an expression of deepest enjoyment, and exclaimed 'delightful creature.
The aunt's address was furnished by a Mr. Lacon of Dullingham, an old friend of Wynne's, who also, it seems, was ignorant of the aunt's death.
