"So you're the scoundrel, are you? Well done! Well done! Where was he caught?" I had no idea. "Here's Lady Melrose's door open," said Crowley. "Lady Melrose! Lady Melrose!" "You forget she's deaf," said Lord Amersteth. "Ah! that'll be her maid." An inner door had opened; next instant there was a little shriek, and a white figure gesticulated on the threshold.
