He walked hurriedly toward the lake. It was calm and clear the tall trees and green sedges swaying in the wind, the white lilies rising and falling with the ripples. The blue sky and green trees were reflected in the water, the pleasure boat was fastened to the boat house. How was he to know the horrible secret of the lake? "Come away, Airlie!" cried Lord Earle.
