The door was opened at once on her ringing.
"Is Mr.Adam Salton in ?" she asked.
"He has just come in, a few minutes ago.

He has gone up to the study," replied a servant.
She ran upstairs at once and joined him.

He seemed relieved when he saw her, but scrutinised her face keenly.

He saw that she had been in some concern, so led her over to the sofa in the window and sat down beside her.
"Now, dear, tell me all about it!" he said.
She rushed breathlessly through all the details of her adventure on the turret roof.

Adam listened attentively, helping her all he could, and not embarrassing her by any questioning.
