When Maitland was not at home the janitor-valet, so warned, would answer the calls.
As he dropped the curtains his eye was arrested by a gleam of white upon his desk, a letter placed there, doubtless, by O'Hagan in Maitland's absence. At the same time, a splashing and gurgling of water from the direction of the bath-room informed him that the janitor-valet was even then preparing his bath. But that could wait.
