He darted to the open window and looked out.
“Want me, sir?” said a voice.
“You there, Chegg? How’s that?”
“You telled me to watch, sir.”
“Have you seen any one pass?”
“Only Miss Leo, sir,” replied the man.
Salis turned from the window, looking as if stunned.
“Gone!” he said wonderingly.
“Yes,” cried Dally, mingling her words with sobs of rage and spite. “She’s gone off with Tom Candlish.”
