He had almost completed dressing when there came a tap at the door. Finishing what he was doing in front of the mirror, he answered, "Yes, what is it, Ann?"
"Before you go, I should like to speak with your Lordship."
"Is it important? I've not got too much time."
"It's—it's something to do with myself."
"All right. Half a second."
On opening the door, he saw at once that her face was disturbed.
"What is it?"
"It's something to do with him, sir."
"With whom?"
"With Braithwaite."
