"We have quite comfortable rooms for you, and the aspect that your uncle desired." We passed along the corridor and he opened the door, which led into a small hall and on into a sitting-room.

The clerk opened up all the rooms.
"You will see, as I told you before, Miss Delora," he said, "that there is no one here.

Your uncle's rooms open out from the right.

The bathroom is to the left there, and beyond are your apartments." She peered into each of the rooms.

They were indeed empty.
"The apartments are very nice," she said, "but I do not understand what has become of my uncle." "He will be up in a few minutes, without a doubt," the clerk remarked.
