He was amazed, and stood for a few moments, after the door had closed behind them, quite silent, and looking at Alexia Boucheafen. A month had passed since the night of the attempted murder in Rockmore Street, and, although during that time she had lived under his roof, George Brudenell knew no more of this girl than her name.
Brudenell alighted from his carriage, rang the doorbell, and sent in the cards of his party with his own.
