CHAPTER X.THE DINNER BILLY GOT.
At five minutes of six Bertram and Calderwell came.

Bertram gave his peculiar ring and let himself in with his latchkey; but Billy did not meet him in the hall, nor in the drawing-room.

Billy was not in her room, nor anywhere on that floor.

She was not in William's room.
