“This is a very
unexpected turn of affairs,” said I; “and what then?”
“Well, I found my
plans very seriously menaced. It looked as if the pair might take an immediate
departure, and so necessitate very prompt and energetic measures on my part. At
the church door, however, they separated, he driving back to the Temple, and
she to her own house. ‘I shall drive out in the park at five as usual,’ she
said as she left him. I heard no more. They drove away in different directions,
and I went off to make my own arrangements.”
“Which are?”
“Some cold beef and a
glass of beer,” he answered, ringing the bell. “I have been too busy to think
of food, and I am likely to be busier still this evening. By the way, Doctor, I
shall want your co-operation.”
“I shall be
delighted.”
“You don't mind
breaking the law?”
“Not in the least.”
“Nor running a chance
of arrest?”
“Not in a good
cause.”
“Oh, the cause is
excellent!”
“Then I am your man.”
“I was sure that I
might rely on you.”
“But what is it you
wish?”
