It was odd, very odd.

I went back to my hotel quite harassed, puzzling and racking my brains.

Then an idea struck me; and I had a hunt through the registers.

I found that two days before she died a boy was born, Hildebrand Anne Beauleigh--the old Beauleigh names.

She knew that I should like him to be called by them.
From the registers I learnt where they had been living.
