Fetherston had only accepted the general's invitation at her urgent desire, for she had written to White's telling him that it was imperative they should meet she wished to consult him; she begged of him to forget the interview at Monifieth and return to her. So, against his will, he had gone there, though the house and all it contained was hateful to him.
He was unaware of that mysterious visit of inquiry to Monifieth, of that remarkable cipher telegram afterwards dispatched to Brussels, or even of the extraordinary influence that man in the well-worn evening suit possessed over both his host and the handsome girl beside him.

Even then, in face of that secret knowledge he had gained, he had been powerless, and he had gone up to Monifieth deliberately again to meet her to be drawn again beneath the spell of those wonderful eyes. There was love in the man's heart. But sometimes it embittered him. It did at that moment, as they strolled still onward over that carpet of moss and fallen leaves.
