Chapter 16 THE BROKEN GODDESS

The impact with which I came down was pretty severe, and some ten seconds elapsed before I was able to climb onto my feet. A door which had softly opened as softly closed. It was the hall door, and as I threw myself upon it a key turned in the lock on the other side. I tried the handle. The door held.
 Furious at myself, I switched on the light. The Brent collection was intact, apparently. My eyes then fell upon the door to the library, and I hurried toward it. The door was unlocked, and pushed into the room beyond, hoping the door between the library and the hall would be also. The darkness was heavy, and I found myself hold ing my breath and sfivering.
 To my dismay the door was locked Samuels would have the key in his pocket. All chance of getting a glimpse of the intruder was gone now. I switched on the light, and the shadows vanished

 Miss Jahries and Annersley were allies, I had supposed. To find Miss Jahries enacting the appearance of something else took all the starch out of my theories. Had Miss Jahries been seeking for some thing that Annersley did not want her to find, wondered? s
 And now Miss Jahries," I nut tered. T wonder who'll be next?"
 That had been Samuels' phrase, and I went to bed with it echoing in my brain.
