“Where have you been, Harry?” he questioned. “We have been worrying about you.”
“Didn’t you get my message?” asked Harry, in feigned surprise.
“What message?”
“The note I left — two days ago — in the morning. I went away before any one was up. I’m sure I left the note in the living room. I didn’t want to disturb you.”
Blair Windsor shook his head.
“To tell you the truth, Harry,” he said, “we didn’t realize anything about it until last night, on account of Perry Quinn.”
“How was that?” Harry Vincent’s surprise was genuine, now.
“He tried to commit suicide, the day before yesterday, in the morning.”
