Did the Pipers know Godfrey Radmore was back?
"We was wondering," said the woman, "if you would give us the major's address ?" Then they didn't know he was back--or did they?
"I don't know it." Enid Crofton was one of those women--there are more than a truthful world suspects--who actually find it easier to lie than to tell the truth.

But she saw the look of incredulity which flashed over the sallow face of her unwelcome visitor.
"Mr.Radmore," she went on hastily, "is taking a motor tour.

But he'll be back in London soon, and I'll let you know the moment I know he's settled down." "I should 'ave thought," said the woman, "that the Major would 'ave 'ad a club where Piper could 'ave written." "If he has, I don't know it." And then, all at once, Enid Crofton pulled herself together.

After all the interview was going quite smoothly.

Nothing--well, disagreeable--had been said.
She got up from her chair.
