The
woman
sprang
up
on
the
couch
with
a
dreadful
gurgling
scream
.
Her
covering
was
torn
from
her
face
.
It
was
a
face
that
he
knew
.
In
spite
of
that
protruding
upper
lip
and
that
slobber
of
blood
,
it
was
a
face
that
he
knew
,
She
kept
on
putting
her
hand
up
to
the
gap
and
screaming
.
Douglas
Stone
sat
down
at
the
foot
of
the
couch
with
his
knife
and
his
forceps
.
The
room
was
whirling
round
,
and
he
had
felt
something
go
like
a
ripping
seam
behind
his
ear
.
A
bystander
would
have
said
that
his
face
was
the
more
ghastly
of
the
two
.
As
in
a
dream
,
or
as
if
he
had
been
looking
at
something
at
the
play
,
he
was
conscious
that
the
Turk
’
s
hair
and
beard
lay
upon
the
table
,
and
that
Lord
Sannox
was
leaning
against
the
wall
with
his
hand
to
his
side
,
laughing
silently
.
The
screams
had
died
away
now
,
and
the
dreadful
head
had
dropped
back
again
upon
the
pillow
,
but
Douglas
Stone
still
sat
motionless
,
and
Lord
Sannox
still
chuckled
quietly
to
himself
.
"
It
was
really
very
necessary
for
Marion
,
this
operation
,
"
said
he
,
"
not
physically
,
but
morally
,
you
know
,
morally
.
"
Douglas
Stone
stooped
for
yards
and
began
to
play
with
the
fringe
of
the
coverlet
.
His
knife
tinkled
down
upon
the
ground
,
but
he
still
held
the
forceps
and
something
more
.
"
I
had
long
intended
to
make
a
little
example
,
"
said
Lord
Sannox
,
suavely
.
"
Your
note
of
Wednesday
miscarried
,
and
I
have
it
here
in
my
pocket
-
book
.
I
took
some
pains
in
carrying
out
my
idea
.
The
wound
,
by
the
way
,
was
from
nothing
more
dangerous
than
my
signet
ring
.
"
He
glanced
keenly
at
his
silent
companion
,
and
cocked
the
small
revolver
which
he
held
in
his
coat
pocket
But
Douglas
Stone
was
still
picking
at
the
coverlet
.
"
You
see
you
have
kept
your
appointment
after
all
,
"
said
Lord
Sannox
.
And
at
that
Douglas
Stone
began
to
laugh
.
He
laughed
long
and
loudly
.
But
Lord
Sannox
did
not
laugh
now
.
Something
like
fear
sharpened
and
hardened
his
features
.
He
walked
from
the
room
,
and
he
walked
on
tiptoe
.
The
old
woman
was
waiting
outside
.
"
Attend
to
your
mistress
when
she
awakes
,
"
said
Lord
Sannox
.
Then
he
went
down
to
the
street
.
The
cab
was
at
the
door
,
and
the
driver
raised
his
hand
to
his
hat
.
