“Where had you been?” enquired Williams quickly.
“Oh, just out.”
“Where to?”
“I suppose you’ll call me a fool, if I say it was to see one of those clairvoyante women, someone Ireen had heard of. It was all Ireen’s doing—she persuaded me to go.”
“Very silly of you both,” said the little solicitor coldly. “Did this person upset you?”
“Yes. She had a sort of fit, I think, and called out a whole lot of nonsense, only I can’t remember what it was.” Elsie moved uneasily.
“Where does she live?”
“Why?”
“She ought to be prosecuted for obtaining money under false pretences. I suppose you gave her money?”
“Oh yes.”
