Wrandall's body stiffened perceptibly, as if deflecting a blow. "It is still standing in the garage, where he left it on his arrival." "Did no one see the face of of the woman?" asked Mrs. Wrandall, rather querulously. "It seems odd that no one should have seen her face," she went on without waiting for an answer. "It's not strange, madam, when you consider ALL the circumstances.
Wrandall's design to ride on to Southlook and surprise Leslie and his inamorata at the lodge gates, where he would wait for them. Arriving there, he dismounted and turned his steed over to Griggs, with instructions to ride on. He would join Mr. Leslie and Miss Castleton and walk with them for the remainder of the distance. He sat down on the rustic bench and lighted a cigar.
A second letter had gone by like means to her husband's brother, Leslie Wrandall, instructing him to break the news to his father and mother and to come to her apartment after he had attended to the removal of the body to the family home near Washington Square. She made it quite plain that she did not want Challis Wrandall's body to lie under the roof that sheltered her.
They appeared to be completely absorbed in each other. At last, coming to a footpath diverging from the macadam, they stopped and parleyed. Then they turned into this narrow, tortuous path over the hillside and were lost to view. Mr. Wrandall's smile broadened as he touched his horse lightly with the crop.
"He will be over on the Lusitania, next sailing," said Leslie, who for some reason best known to himself wore a troubled look. Mr. Wrandall's face fell.

It is too early to accomplish much by telephone, I fear. Will you be so kind as to telephone at seven o'clock or a little after to my apartment? You will find the number under Mr. Wrandall's name. Please inform the butler or his wife that they may expect me by ten o'clock, and that I shall bring a friend with me a young lady. Kindly have my motor sent to Haffner's garage, and looked after.
On the contrary, he seemed to be entirely absorbed in the scenery. Mr. Wrandall had said, without shaking hands: "We will repair at once to Mrs. Challis Wrandall's house, Mr. Smith. She is expecting you. I have informed her of your mission." "I think we'd better discuss the matter between ourselves, Mr. Wrandall, before putting it up to "
The answer is ready: Hetty was a slave bound to an extraordinary condition. There had been no coercion on the part of Challis Wrandall's wife; no actual restraint had been set upon the girl. The situation was a plain one from every point of view: Hetty owed her life to Sara, she would have paid with her life's blood the debt she owed.
She seldom removed her gaze from Wrandall's face, and yet there persisted in the observer's mind the rather uncanny impression that she did not hear a word her brother-in-law was saying. He, in turn, took to watching her covertly. At no time did her expression change.
Wrandall's room, and he'd get it as soon as the way was clear, if Mr. Wrandall didn't mind waiting. "If I minded waiting," snapped Leslie, "I wouldn't be here now." "It's the thing most people object to in the country, sir," said Murray consolingly. "Waiting for trains, sir." "And the sunset," added Mr. Wrandall pointedly, with a westward glare. "We don't mind that, sir.
