Pleasure Jdunt

Quite the most delightful treat
Of the week was Celestine's arrival
from Corpus Christi on Friday
for our dancing party. And such
cxuberance! She was as delightful
to be here as we were to have her.
"Now wouldn't you like to rest
a while?" Grace asked when we had
chatted for an hour. you must be
tired after your long ride"
"Tired?--I should say notS-that
ride up was a real pleasure hunt-
in the comfortable car with expert
driver-and the splendid time which
are characteristics Of the Fed Ball
servicc-my choice of transportation
always. No, indeed, I'm not a bit
you'll not be either IL you

which makes travelling pleasant, in

Miss Grigsby said she went out with
him into the garden, then came back int
the house."

she lifted him over the wall"

my turn: That's what you'd better get
her mind TO tell you. Too bad we haven't

was dry.
Madame Marquand Joined us at this
moment.

be Of any service in the present case / shall
have to do one Of two things: either wait
for the police to confront me with this

Madame Marquand was quick to seize
the idea. "DO it, then" she said, "and be-
gin with this hateful Mees."

unusual about the performance, because at
most times the child could be seen from
the house and he had with him two dogs,
presumably faithful guardians.

Immediately into the garden, where
there were a good many plum trees
that screened some parts Of It from
observation. The wall inclOsing IL was
the usual sort Of masonry, about six
feet high and with the habitual pear
and apricot trees trained against Il, also
roses and the mall climbing jesmine,
which mingled with the partly cultivated
eglantine much like our ramblers. The
only door in the wall was in plain view
Of the rear of the house and about a hun
dred feet from it, a delivery entrance that
might at any moment be in use.
Our painstaking search failed to reveal
anything significant. No tracks or traces
on the wall. The flower basket and scissors

under the eyes Of the chateau personnel,

ing about at the time.
Miss Brigsby was, Of course. the focus Of
our immediate attention. She was a young
ish looking woman Of about thirty-fOur or
thirty-five; she had fair, gray eyes and
thick. rather lusterless khaki cOlOred hair,
and was shapely, if a little heavy Of build.
Under average circumstances one would
have found her rather pretty. Her type was
more Saxon than Anglican, with a square
face, short nose and determined mouth.
But it was plain that whatever grief and
dismay she might first have felt had given
place under her interrOgatOry to a sort
Of hard defensiveness.
Jacques didn't attempt to question her.
He scarcely looked at her, in fact, seemed
almost to ignore her. I did not blame him
much, as The young woman locke to me
