He
had
paused
just
opposite
the
window
,
so
that
,
even
in
the
rainy
afternoon
light
,
his
face
was
clearly
open
to
her
scrutiny
.
For
a
second
,
immense
surprise
was
alone
visible
on
it
:
so
visible
that
she
half
turned
to
her
step
-
son
,
with
a
faint
smile
for
his
refuted
suspicions
.
Why
,
she
wondered
,
should
Owen
have
thought
that
Darrow
had
already
guessed
his
secret
,
and
what
,
after
all
,
could
be
so
disturbing
to
him
in
this
not
improbable
contingency
?
At
any
rate
,
his
doubt
must
have
been
dispelled
:
there
was
nothing
feigned
about
Darrow
’
s
astonishment
.
When
her
eyes
turned
back
to
him
he
was
already
crossing
to
Owen
with
outstretched
hand
,
and
she
had
,
through
an
unaccountable
faint
flutter
of
misgiving
,
a
mere
confused
sense
of
their
exchanging
the
customary
phrases
.
Her
next
perception
was
of
Owen
’
s
tranquillized
look
,
and
of
his
smiling
return
of
Darrow
’
s
congratulatory
grasp
.
She
had
the
eerie
feeling
of
having
been
overswept
by
a
shadow
which
there
had
been
no
cloud
to
cast
.
.
.
A
moment
later
Owen
had
left
the
room
and
she
and
Darrow
were
alone
.
He
had
turned
away
to
the
window
and
stood
staring
out
into
the
down
-
pour
.
“
You
’
re
surprised
at
Owen
’
s
news
?
”
she
asked
.

“
Yes
:
I
am
surprised
,
”
he
answered
.
“
You
hadn
’
t
thought
of
its
being
Miss
Viner
?
”
“
Why
should
I
have
thought
of
Miss
Viner
?
”
“
You
see
now
why
I
wanted
so
much
to
find
out
what
you
knew
about
her

He
made
no
comment
,
and
she
pursued
:
“
Now
that
you
do
know
it
’
s
she
,
if
there
’
s
anything
—
—
”
He
moved
back
into
the
room
and
went
up
to
her
.
His
face
was
serious
,
with
a
slight
shade
of
annoyance
.
“
What
on
earth
should
there
be
?
As
I
told
you
,
I
’
ve
never
in
my
life
heard
any
one
say
two
words
about
Miss
Viner
.
”
Anna
made
no
answer
and
they
continued
to
face
each
other
without
moving
.
For
the
moment
she
had
ceased
to
think
about
Sophy
Viner
and
Owen
:
the
only
thought
in
her
mind
was
that
Darrow
was
alone
with
her
,
close
to
her
,
and
that
,
for
the
first
time
,
their
hands
and
lips
had
not
met
.
