She
closed
the
door
.
Left
by
himself
,
Henry
lifted
his
hand
once
more
to
the
marble
forehead
of
the
figure
.
For
the
second
time
,
he
was
checked
on
the
point
of
setting
the
machinery
of
the
hiding
-
place
in
motion
.
On
this
occasion
,
the
interruption
came
from
an
outbreak
of
friendly
voices
in
the
corridor
.
A
woman
’
s
voice
exclaimed
,
’
Dearest
Agnes
,
how
glad
I
am
to
see
you
again
!
’
A
man
’
s
voice
followed
,
offering
to
introduce
some
friend
to
’
Miss
Lockwood
.
’
A
third
voice
(
which
Henry
recognised
as
the
voice
of
the
manager
of
the
hotel
)
became
audible
next
,
directing
the
housekeeper
to
show
the
ladies
and
gentlemen
the
vacant
apartments
at
the
other
end
of
the
corridor
.
’
If
more
accommodation
is
wanted
,
’
the
manager
went
on
,
’
I
have
a
charming
room
to
let
here
.
’
He
opened
the
door
as
he
spoke
,
and
found
himself
face
to
face
with
Henry
Westwick
.
’
This
is
indeed
an
agreeable
surprise
,
sir
!
’
said
the
manager
cheerfully
.
’
You
are
admiring
our
famous
chimney
-
piece
,
I
see
.
May
I
ask
,
Mr
.
Westwick
,
how
you
find
yourself
in
the
hotel
,
this
time
?
Have
the
supernatural
influences
affected
your
appetite
again
?
’
’
The
supernatural
influences
have
spared
me
,
this
time
,
’
Henry
answered
.
’
Perhaps
you
may
yet
find
that
they
have
affected
some
other
member
of
the
family
.
’
He
spoke
gravely
,
resenting
the
familiar
tone
in
which
the
manager
had
referred
to
his
previous
visit
to
the
hotel
.
’
Have
you
just
returned
?
’
he
asked
,
by
way
of
changing
the
topic
.
’
Just
this
minute
,
sir
.
I
had
the
honour
of
travelling
in
the
same
train
with
friends
of
yours
who
have
arrived
at
the
hotel
—
Mr
.
and
Mrs
.
Arthur
Barville
,
and
their
travelling
companions
.
Miss
Lockwood
is
with
them
,
looking
at
the
rooms
.
They
will
be
here
before
long
,
if
they
find
it
convenient
to
have
an
extra
room
at
their
disposal
.
’
This
announcement
decided
Henry
on
exploring
the
hiding
-
place
,
before
the
interruption
occurred
.
It
had
crossed
his
mind
,
when
Agnes
left
him
,
that
he
ought
perhaps
to
have
a
witness
,
in
the
not
very
probable
event
of
some
alarming
discovery
taking
place
.
The
too
-
familiar
manager
,
suspecting
nothing
,
was
there
at
his
disposal
.
He
turned
again
to
the
Caryan
figure
,
maliciously
resolving
to
make
the
manager
his
witness
.
’
I
am
delighted
to
hear
that
our
friends
have
arrived
at
last
,
’
he
said
.
’
Before
I
shake
hands
with
them
,
let
me
ask
you
a
question
about
this
queer
work
of
art
here
.
I
see
photographs
of
it
downstairs
.
Are
they
for
sale
?
’
’
Certainly
,
Mr
.
Westwick
!
’
’
Do
you
think
the
chimney
-
piece
is
as
solid
as
it
looks
?
’
Henry
proceeded
.
’
When
you
came
in
,
I
was
just
wondering
whether
this
figure
here
had
not
accidentally
got
loosened
from
the
wall
behind
it
.
’
He
laid
his
hand
on
the
marble
forehead
,
for
the
third
time
.
’
To
my
eye
,
it
looks
a
little
out
of
the
perpendicular
.
I
almost
fancied
I
could
jog
the
head
just
now
,
when
I
touched
it
.
’
He
pressed
the
head
inwards
as
he
said
those
words
.
