CHAPTER Xxx
The Family Council.

He arrived at Curzon street at IF
teen minutes after next morning
and was shown up to the drawing
room by the butler. Here he took his
scat, and waited the coming of the
family, amusing himself as best he
could by looking round at the fnrni-
ture and pictures, and listening to the
sounds of the house and the street
outside
He heard taxi horns, the faint rum
BILE of wheels, voices.
Now he heard some one running UP
the stairs outside a servant probably.
for the sound suddenly ceased and
was followed by Il laugh as though
two servants had met on the stairs
and were exchanging words.
One could not imagine any of that
terrible family running up the stairs
lightly or laughing. Then after an
other minute or two the door opened
and the Duke of Mclford entered. He
was IN light tWeeds with Il buff waist
