I saw something about him in one of the picture-papers to-day, when I was having my hair cut. Oh, I know! He'd left London, and letters weren't going to be forwarded.
Shiffney slipped Gillier's libretto surreptitiously into Claude's hand. "It's splendid!" she almost whispered. "With such a libretto you can't fail."
