"It's late, and neither you nor I are going to meet Hutton to-night," I said rather cheerlessly. "You'd better go to bed." "I want to say something first," slowly, as if she had been thinking. "What Macartney said to-night that I was engaged to Dick Hutton when Mr. Van Ruyne said I took those emeralds wasn't true! I never was engaged to Dick.
Otherwise" the passion in her voice kept it down to a whisper "it's not only that I'm afraid he can make things look as if I stole from Dudley as well as from Van Ruyne: I'm afraid for Dudley!" The two last words gave me a jar. I would have given most of the world to ask if she loved Dudley, but I didn't dare: I suppose a girl could love a man with a face like an egg, if she owed him enough.
"How, I don't know, but I'm certain of it. He was more in love with her than Van Ruyne, and more dangerous, for all you say he was a good sort. Why, he was the kind to stick at nothing.
