Waiting on Mr. Sleuth was just what Mrs. Bunting could manage to do easily, and without tiring herself.
The fellow got up scowling and told the lad to bring his bag. "You'll hear more about this," he rejoined and slouched off. Festing went back, and Helen started when he jumped across the ditch. His jacket was torn, his lip was cut, and his face was bruised. He looked dishevelled, but not at all embarrassed. In fact, there was a gleam of half-humorous satisfaction in his eyes.
