Gilbert had taken the twelve-forty-five train for Santa Ysobel; so, as Captain Gilbert was to be found, we felt that if we got him it would be practically er quite the same thing " Worth Gilbert had sat in the chair he selected, absolutely indifferent. It was only when Dykeman, hanging to his point, spoke again, that I saw a quick gleam of blue fire come into those hawk eyes under the slant brow.
The man saw that nothing she turned that light on could long stay hidden. He must have decided, then, to put her out of the way. As for his wife well, however much or little she knew, she'd not defend Barbara Wallace." At that, Edwards gave me a look, but all he said was, "Cummings has suffered a complete change of heart, it seems. I left him in the telephone booth, just now, calling up Dykeman.
