She was fond of the excitable little Frenchman, and knew how to manage him to a nicety.
It was to the Dancing Academy that Jennings turned his steps a few days after the interview with Susan.

He had been a constant visitor there for eighteen months and was deeply in love with Peggy.

On a Bank Holiday he had been fortunate enough to rescue her from a noisy crowd, half-drunk and indulging in horse-play, and had escorted her home to receive the profuse thanks of the Professor.

The detective was attracted by the quaint little man, and he called again to inquire for Peggy.
