Miss Starr, he was told, had left very early that morning; if he was Mr.Waymark, there was a note to be delivered to him.
"I thought it better that I should go to London by an earlier train, for we should not have been quite at our ease with each other.

I beg you will not think my leaving you is due to anything but necessity--indeed it is not.

I shall not be living at the old place, but any letter you send there I shall get.

I cannot promise to reply at once, but hope you will let me do so when I feel able to.
I.S." Waymark took the next train to town..
