CHAPTER XXI
A Hasty Flight
Doctor Lessing re-entered the room with a letter in his hand.
"The last address I can find," he said, "is 35, De Vere Terrace, Streatham. That is sixteen years old, but as it tells me that she had only just moved in, you might find her still there."
Monsieur Dupont made a note of the address.
"There remains only one question," he said, replacing his pocket-book. "Can you tell me the name of the child?"
The doctor shook his head.
"I'm afraid I can't. The child was christened in the church here, but I was away at the time, and when I returned Miss Masters had gone to London."
"It is very important," said Monsieur Dupont. "Perhaps I can discover it at the church?"
