Cheere dealt largely in painted leaden figures, then much employed in 'the art of creating landscape. He was 'the man at Hyde Park Corner' of whom Lord Ogleby in the comedy makes mention when he says: 'Great improvements, indeed, Mr. Sterling! Wonderful improvements! The four Seasons in lead, the flying Mercury, and the basin with Neptune in the middle, are in the very extreme of fine taste.
Ogleby, Murtha, and another woman, standing on the porch of a gabled building in the sunshine, again the four speeding in a touring car, of which the number could be read faintly, and other less interesting snapshots.
Hartley Langhorne has sailed for Paris on the French line, with Mrs. Ogleby!" "Mary Ogleby eloped?" repeated Miss Ashton, aghast. The very name seemed to call up unpleasant associations and her face plainly showed it. Kennedy had said nothing to her since the day when he had pleaded with her to suspend judgment.
"I don't hesitate to admit," he added, "that a few months ago I knew Mrs. Ogleby socially. But there was nothing to it. I never knew Murtha well, and the other woman I never saw. At various times I have been present at affairs where she was, but I know that no pictures were ever taken, and even if there had been, I would not care, provided they told the truth about them.
We were not surprised to learn that she had met Langhorne in the Futurist Tea Room in the middle of the afternoon and that they had talked long and earnestly. What did surprise us, though, was her suspicion that she had crossed the trail of someone else who was shadowing Mrs. Ogleby. Kennedy made no comment, though I could see that he was vitally interested.
The story of the robbery of my study is in the papers this morning. To-morrow they plan to publish some photographs alleged to have been stolen." "Photographs Mrs. Ogleby," repeated Kennedy. "Real ones?" "No," exclaimed Carton quickly, "of course not fakes. Don't you see the scheme?
There must be some way in which you can protect me some way that you can get along without using " "But, my dear Mrs. Ogleby," interrupted the District Attorney, "I have told you half a dozen times, I think, that I didn't put the detectaphone in " "Yes, but you will get the record," she persisted excitedly. "Can't you do something?" she pleaded.
I fancied that she said it with the air of one who almost had some right in the matter. "Mrs. Ogleby," reiterated Carton earnestly, "I will do all I can on my word of honour to protect your name, but " He paused and looked at us helplessly. "What was it that was overheard?" asked Craig point-blank, watching Mrs. Ogleby's face carefully.
She cut her words short. But I knew what she meant, and to a certain extent I could understand, if not sympathize with her. Her husband, Martin Ogleby, club-man and man about town, had a reputation none too savoury. But, man-like, I knew, he would condone not even the appearance of anything that caused gossip in his wife's actions. I could understand how desperate she felt.
The acting of both could not have been better if they had deliberately practised their parts. What did it mean? As the dance concluded I saw Ogleby glance hastily over in the direction of Marie. He gave a quick smile of recognition, as much as to say "Thank you." It was evident now that both Dr. Harris and Marie, whoever she was, were getting ready to leave.
