Again that benevolent smile as he poked about in one of his pockets and finally drew out a little parcel which he held out toward her. "This belongs to your aunt. See, it has her name on it, Madame Antoinette Duclos. It came to the lodging-house in Fifty-third Street just after she left, and I was asked to bring it to her.

"As, for instance?" "That Mrs. Taylor is no stranger to you, even if Mademoiselle Duclos was.
It cannot take long if we succeed either in tracing the Duclos woman or in drawing the net I am quietly manufacturing, so closely about well, I've decided to call him X that it will hold against all opposition. I have hopes of finding the woman, but great doubts as to the efficacy of the net I have mentioned; it will have to be so wide and deep, and so absolutely without a single weak strand."
That the two were well known in St. Pierre sur Loire, where they had lived for many years in the relationship mentioned. At the convent where she was educated, she had been registered under the name of Duclos also at the hotel where she and her mother had spent a few days before leaving for England.

As he passed out, he heard a frightened gasp from somewhere back in the hall. Turning, he asked in the most natural manner whether there were children in the house. Mrs. Duclos answered with some dignity that she had three daughters. "You are fortunate, madame," he remarked with his old-fashioned bow. "I live alone. My last grandchild left me a year ago for a man many years my junior."
The letter was very short and not very explicit. I really have given you all the information I have on this subject." "Mrs. Duclos, it is my duty to inform you that your sister-in-law had a deep and intense hatred for a man to us at present unknown. Can you name him?
