Over Gabriel Strood's signature there were just these words written in his hand and nothing more: "Mont Blanc by the Brenva route. July, 1868." Yet it was just that sentence which had so startled Hilary.
Garratt Skinner himself would run great risk upon this hazardous expedition that was true. But Chayne knew enough of the man to be assured that he would not hesitate on that account. The very audacity of the exploit marked it out as Gabriel Strood's. Moreover, there would be no other party on the Brenva ridge to spy upon his actions.
If so, what dark thing was there in the record of Strood's life that he must change his name, disappear from the world, and avoid the summer nights, the days of sunshine and storm on the high rock-ledges and the ice-slope? Chayne was minded to find an answer to that question. Sylvia was in trouble; that house under the downs was no place for her.
