She gave him a questioning glance.
"We cannot go straight to our destination until I am sure the coast is clear," he explained.

"There is an upstairs room at Falconer's, and I am going to order you some luncheon, and you must do your best to eat it.

I shall have to leave you for a quarter of an hour or so, until the Oxford train is in." "You mean to go to the station ?" she asked nervously.
"Oh, Mr.Herrick, is that wise?
Saul is so sharp-sighted, if he sees you he will guess that you have been to Gresham Gardens." "He will not see me," returned Malcolm confidently; "there is a corner where I can secrete myself and watch the passengers go by.

When we are really off I will tell you our destination, but at present I must ask you to have faith that I am doing my best for you." She smiled faintly and said no more.

Five minutes later the cab stopped, and Malcolm took her upstairs and found a quiet corner for her.
