And at precisely seven o'clock when dusk was settling gently over the valley and the glory in the western sky was beginning to fade into pale heliotrope and rose tints Lizzie brought the two Lamberts to the crest of Sunset Hill where another car waited, a hired car from the Eagle garage.
"I never know whether you are laughing at me or yourself, George" says the brother. I never know whether you are serious or jesting. "Precisely my own case, Harry, my dear!" says George. "But this I know, that there never was a better brother in the world; and never better people than the Lamberts." "Never was truer word said!" cries George, taking his brother's hand.
Poor little Hester will choke over her tea about the same hour when the Lamberts arrive to sleep at the house of their friends at Westerham. The young roses will be wan in her cheeks in the morning, and there will be black circles round her eyes. It was the thunder: the night was hot: she could not sleep: she will be better when she gets home again the next day. And home they come.
Wolfe found his young friend was innocent, he took the first opportunity to withdraw the odious charges against him.
