They
landed
me
at
Vauxhall
,
with
my
heavy
iron
box
,
and
with
a
bluff
,
genial
inspector
as
my
companion
.
A
quarter
of
an
hour
’
s
drive
brought
us
to
Mrs
.
Cecil
Forrester
’
s
.
The
servant
seemed
surprised
at
so
late
a
visitor
.
Mrs
.
Cecil
Forrester
was
out
for
the
evening
,
she
explained
,
and
likely
to
be
very
late
.
Miss
Morstan
,
however
,
was
in
the
drawing
-
room
:
so
to
the
drawing
-
room
I
went
,
box
in
hand
,
leaving
the
obliging
inspector
in
the
cab
.
She
was
seated
by
the
open
window
,
dressed
in
some
sort
of
white
diaphanous
material
,
with
a
little
touch
of
scarlet
at
the
neck
and
waist
.
The
soft
light
of
a
shaded
lamp
fell
upon
her
as
she
leaned
back
in
the
basket
chair
,
playing
over
her
sweet
,
grave
face
,
and
tinting
with
a
dull
,
metallic
sparkle
the
rich
coils
of
her
luxuriant
hair
.
One
white
arm
and
hand
drooped
over
the
side
of
the
chair
,
and
her
whole
pose
and
figure
spoke
of
an
absorbing
melancholy
.
At
the
sound
of
my
foot
-
fall
she
sprang
to
her
feet
,
however
,
and
a
bright
flush
of
surprise
and
of
pleasure
coloured
her
pale
cheeks
.
“
I
heard
a
cab
drive
up
,
”
she
said
.
“
I
thought
that
Mrs
.
Forrester
had
come
back
very
early
,
but
I
never
dreamed
that
it
might
be
you
.
What
news
have
you
brought
me
?
”
“
I
have
brought
something
better
than
news
,
”
said
I
,
putting
down
the
box
upon
the
table
and
speaking
jovially
and
boisterously
,
though
my
heart
was
heavy
within
me
.
“
I
have
brought
you
something
which
is
worth
all
the
news
in
the
world
.
I
have
brought
you
a
fortune
.
”
She
glanced
at
the
iron
box
.
“
Is
that
the
treasure
,
then
?
”
she
asked
,
coolly
enough
.
“
Yes
,
this
is
the
great
Agra
treasure
.
Half
of
it
is
yours
and
half
is
Thaddeus
Sholto
’
s
.
You
will
have
a
couple
of
hundred
thousand
each
.
Think
of
that
!
An
annuity
of
ten
thousand
pounds
.
There
will
be
few
richer
young
ladies
in
England
.
Is
it
not
glorious
?
”
I
think
that
I
must
have
been
rather
overacting
my
delight
,
and
that
she
detected
a
hollow
ring
in
my
congratulations
,
for
I
saw
her
eyebrows
rise
a
little
,
and
she
glanced
at
me
curiously
.
“
If
I
have
it
,
”
said
she
,
“
I
owe
it
to
you
.
”
