"Honora had evidently been trailed all over the city," he commented, as he read.
It was a few moments later that Kennedy's eyes narrowed as he reached another of the reports.
"Here's one that is very interesting," he muttered, half to himself.
We crowded around and read the report that was rather lengthy, while Kennedy turned the pages slowly.
I shall not attempt to quote it, but rather give the gist of it.
"Starts out as though it were a report on Vina and Shattuck," commented Kennedy, "but as you read on, it seems more as though it were a report on Honora."
It seemed that the events had happened, or were alleged to have happened, in a resort in Greenwich Village, known as the Orange and Blue Tea-room. As we read the name, Brooks nodded wisely.
"I know the place," he remarked, "run by a young lady of very advanced ideas—Zona Dare."
However, none of us paid much attention to the interruption at the time, but kept on reading. For, it seemed that one night, scarcely a fortnight before, Vina Lathrop had arrived at the Orange and Blue, according to Rascon's operative, when shortly afterward Shattuck had dropped in, saw her, and wandered over to her table. Later Honora Wilford came in, observed them, but did not sit with them. Instead, she remained alone at another table watching the couple very jealously.
"There's a queer break in the report at this point," remarked Kennedy, turning the page. "Nothing further is said about this meeting, but see how it resumes."
