“I will wait for him,” said John Bruce.
Again she shook her head.
“I don't know when he will be back. He hasn't been here since yesterday morning.”
“I will wait for him,” said John Bruce monotonously.
“But——”
John Bruce brushed his way past her into the hall.
“I will wait for him,” he repeated.
A door was open off the hallway. John Bruce looked in. It was obviously Crang's office. He went in and sat down by the window.
The woman stood for a long time in the doorway watching him. Finally she went away.
John Bruce's mind was coldly logical. Crang was not aware that his escape was known to any one except Claire, and he had been cunning enough to keep under cover. That was why he had not been home. But he would be home before he went out to be married. Even a man like Crang would have a few preparations to make.
