She told herself that probably he had forgotten her existence, but she had a strong unreasoning conviction that this was not so. It seemed the most natural thing in the world to write him and, almost before she was aware of the intention, she had put "Dear Mr. Pleydon" at the head of a sheet of note-paper. I promised to let you know in the spring when you came back from South America where I was.
In reply to it came a friendly note to the effect that she had done the best thing in the world for them that when they knew more about life and the literary game, they would recognize this! The tangible results of the adventure were three. First there came a letter, written on scented note-paper, from a lady who commended their noble ideals and wished them success but who did not sign her name.
So, after some hesitation she made out a bill for that amount on a half-sheet of note-paper. He brought her the money the next Saturday afternoon and went off chuckling to himself over the success of the scheme.
"I've no objection to nice simple tunes indeed, I find them very helpful to my literary composition, but that kind of thing is merely like an unfortunate old dog going round on its hind legs in the rain." He began turning over the little sheets of note-paper which were scattered on the table, conveying the congratulations of their friends.
The letter was well written in a bold, round hand, with many flourishes, and looked very aggressive and overbearing as it lay on the table by the side of the sheet of small note-paper in Miss Noble's faint and somewhat cramped handwriting. "You have heard the readin' of the applications," said the chairman. "Gentlemen, what is yo' pleasure?"
The door of the drawing-room closed on the retreating backs of the Lunch Club, and the President of that distinguished association, seating herself at her writing-table, and pushing away a copy of "The Wings of Death" to make room for her elbow, drew forth a sheet of the club's note-paper, on which she began to write: "My dear Mrs. Roby " The End of Xingu June 1908
He pulled a sheet of note-paper towards him and began to jot down notes with a silver-cased pencil. Soon he discontinued writing and sat tapping his pencil-case on the table. "The amazing selfishness of his attitude! I do not think that once not once has he judged any woman except as a contributor to his energy and peace of mind.... Except in the case of his wife....
Then he tore a sheet of note-paper from his pocket-book and handed it to his companion. "Cut along up to the Metropolitan and Provincial Bank, Maxwell. A cheque, No. A834,076 for £200, signed Burghley, has been presented this morning. Find out who cashed it and how it was paid. If there were any notes, get their numbers and come straight on to me at the Yard."
The sheet of note-paper, lost by Anne, contained, it may be remembered, two letters one signed by herself; the other signed by Geoffrey and both suggestive, to a stranger's eye, of relations between the writers which they were interested in concealing from the public view.
She had, of course, heard by this time of the letter presumedly written by David Steel to the injured man Van Sneck, which had been found in his pocket by Dr. Cross. The latter had been written most assuredly in reply to the note Merritt had just alluded to, but certainly not written by David Steel. Who, then, seeing that it was Steel's private note-paper?
