Mr Croft was disabled, and Junius would scorn to take advantage of a man in that condition.
At an upper window, at the other end of the house, sat Roberta March, ready for bed, but with no intention of going there until Junius Keswick had come out of the office.

Knowing the two men as she did, she had no fear that any harm would come to either of them during this long conference, whatever its subject might be.
