A
curious
chill
came
over
me
--
the
telegram
fell
from
my
hands
on
the
table
.
Lucio
took
it
up
and
glanced
at
it
.
Then
,
regarding
me
stedfastly
,
he
said
--
"
Of
course
you
must
go
.
You
can
catch
the
four-forty
train
if
you
take
a
hansom
.
"
"
And
you
?
"
I
muttered
.
My
throat
was
dry
and
I
could
scarcely
speak
.
"
I
'll
stay
at
the
Grand
,
and
wait
for
news
.
Do
n't
delay
a
moment
--
Miss
Clare
would
not
have
taken
it
upon
herself
to
send
this
message
,
unless
there
had
been
serious
cause
.
"
"
What
do
you
think
--
what
do
you
suppose
--
--
"
I
began
.
He
stopped
me
by
a
slight
imperative
gesture
.
"
I
think
nothing
--
I
suppose
nothing
.
I
only
urge
you
to
start
immediately
.
Come
!
"
And
almost
before
I
realized
it
,
he
had
taken
me
with
him
out
into
the
hall
of
the
club
,
where
he
helped
me
on
with
my
coat
,
gave
me
my
hat
,
and
sent
for
a
cab
to
take
me
to
the
railway
station
.
We
scarcely
exchanged
farewells
--
stupefied
with
the
suddenness
of
the
unexpected
summons
back
to
the
home
I
had
left
in
the
morning
,
as
I
thought
,
for
ever
,
I
hardly
knew
what
I
was
doing
or
where
I
was
going
,
till
I
found
myself
alone
in
the
train
,
returning
to
Warwickshire
as
fast
as
steam
would
bear
me
,
with
the
gloom
of
the
deepening
dusk
around
me
,
and
such
a
fear
and
horror
at
my
heart
as
I
dared
not
think
of
or
define
.
What
was
the
'
something
alarming
'
that
had
happened
?
How
was
it
that
Mavis
Clare
had
telegraphed
to
me
?
These
,
and
endless
other
questions
tormented
my
brain
--
and
I
was
afraid
to
suggest
answers
to
any
of
them
.
When
I
arrived
at
the
familiar
station
,
there
was
no
one
waiting
to
receive
me
,
so
I
hired
a
fly
,
and
was
driven
up
to
my
own
house
just
as
the
short
evening
deepened
into
night
.
A
low
autumnal
wind
was
sighing
restlessly
among
the
trees
like
a
wandering
soul
in
torment
;
not
a
star
shone
in
the
black
depths
of
the
sky
Directly
the
carriage
stopped
,
a
slim
figure
in
white
came
out
under
the
porch
to
meet
me
--
it
was
Mavis
,
her
angel
's
face
grave
and
pale
with
emotion
.
