"In Canada, on the banks of Lake Ono, if you know where that is," he answered, looking at her in surprise.
She resumed her usual pace, but he noticed that she was pale.
"So Lord Arranmore was in Canada?" she said. "Do you know how long ago?"
"About ten years, I suppose," he answered. "How long before that I do not know."
She was silent for several minutes, and they found themselves in the drive leading to the Bullsom villa. Brooks was curious.
"I wonder," he asked, "whether you will tell me why you are interested in Lord Arranmore—and Canada?"
"I was born in Montreal," she answered, "and I once saw some one very much like Lord Arranmore there. But I am convinced that it could only have been a resemblance."
"You mentioned it before—when we saw him in Mellor's," he remarked.
"Yes, it struck me then," she admitted. "But I am sure that Lord Arranmore could not have been the person whom I am thinking about. It is ridiculous of me to attach so much importance to a mere likeness."
They stood upon the doorstep, but she checked him as he reached out for the bell.
