But in the second that Rose turned hO

man who had come out of the agents i'm.
mediately after Miss Elmore And on M
opposite side of the road was the gentleman
she had bowed to in mistake. and who had
gone into the public-house opposite th

morning, taken the same bus as herself
and watched her while she watched The
agents office.
She saw it in a moment, and she knew
by a flash of inspiration what it meant

the law.
