"That will suit me very well," said the other, and in half an hour he returned to Brendon, found him chatting with Jenny in the dark portal of the silkworm house, and drew him away. "You shall have speech with her to-night after supper," promised Giuseppe. "Now it is my turn. We will ascend to the little shrine on the track above the orchards.
Then her head disappeared suddenly in her hands, and her shoulders shook violently. "Please forgive me for one moment," she sobbed. "I I shall be all right directly." Brendon rushed to the piano and strummed out a tune. The others hurried to the window. And Anna was conscious of a few moments of exquisite emotion. After all, life had still its pulsations.
Breeding and education are different things. He has little education, but a native delicacy of mind belongs to him. You feel it." "He interests you?" "He does," she confessed frankly. "Indeed I owe him something, for he has a wonderful art and tact to strike the right note with me." "He has had rare opportunities," said Brendon grudgingly. "Yes; but not everybody would have taken them.
However, you did a very clever thing, and to take Doria into your confidence afterward was up to our best traditions. Your opinion of him needn't detain us now. There only remains to hear what you may have to say on the subject of his pretty dame." "My opinion of a very wonderful and brave woman remains unchanged," Brendon answered.
Dear: I know you are miserable about me, but don't be it, because I'm not miserable about myself. Honour bright! I've done the hateful deed. It was at Newcastle: and I knew I was in for it, the minute I saw Dick. He's got his partnership, and thinks he's got me. But there's many a slip 'twixt Dick Burden and Audrie Brendon.
I am very unfortunate, Marco, for I have not in the least deserved to lose her affection. However, if a new inamorato fills her thoughts, it is idle for me to yelp. Jealousy is a fool's failing. But I must work or I shall be wicked!" He departed and Brendon joined Albert Redmayne, to find the old man had grown uneasy and fearful. "I am not happy, Brendon," he said.
Heavy boots had torn this up and plowed furrows in it. At one spot lay an impression, as though some large object had fallen, and here Brendon saw blood a dark patch already drying, for the substance of it was soaked away in the sandy shingle on which it had dropped.
Is that some one coming out?" The front door of the flats stood open, and through it a woman, slim and veiled, passed on to the pavement and turned with swift footsteps in the opposite direction. Anna watched her with curious eyes. "Is it any one you know?" Brendon asked. "I am not sure," Anna answered. "But, of course, she may have come from one of the other flats."
They called him at ten o'clock no answer. They went in his room. Not there and bed not slept in and his clothes not changed. He's not been seen since." "Hold on. Mark Brendon's here and has the case. He'll speak." Inspector Halfyard reported the statement and Brendon picked up the mouthpiece. "Detective Brendon speaking. Who is it?" "Inspector Reece, Paignton."
They entered the smoking-room presently and then Brendon, very much to his surprise, heard an astonishing lecture which left him under the emotions of a fourth-form schoolboy after an interview with his head master. Mr. Ganns ordered coffee, took snuff, and bade Mark listen and not interrupt.
