The Church-clock was striking nine when he reached Leila's flat, went up, and knocked. Sounds from-a piano ceased; the door was opened by Noel. She recoiled when she saw who it was, and said: "Why did you come, Daddy? It was much better not." "Are you alone here?" "Yes; Leila gave me her key. She has to be at the hospital till ten to-night." "You must come home with me, my dear."
