At the Meurice. Miss Lane gave
strict orders to admit only Mr.. Blaii

him. No sooner had she drunk her
cup of tea, which Higgins gave her
than she began to expect Dan.
He didn't come.

wondered had he really gone-had he
done what he threatened? Why didn't
he come? At twelve o'clock that night
as she lay among the cushions OF hel
