Her face was already ghastly pale.

Her eyes alone seemed to indicate some fresh fear.
"I will go to my rooms and put on my hat," she said.
Quest pointed through the half-open door.

"I am sorry to hurry you off but I have another appointment.

You will send, of course, for the young lady's friends," he added, turning to Mr.Marsham, "and cable her people." "There is nothing more you can do, Mr.Quest ?" the hotel manager asked, a little querulously.
