Chapter VII
"Oh, not before the middle of October. They'll stay there through the shooting." Other questions I put to her she answered frankly, and I left a coin in her hand as I turned and went down the steps. Why, I wondered, had her ladyship thought fit to introduce Beryl to me as Feo Ashwicke? In deep disappointment I returned to Rowan Road.
