Mrs. Admaston seemed to find something consoling in the voice of the great K.C.
"Wasn't it!" she said brightly.
There was no response in the manner or in the voice of Mr. Admaston's counsel.
"Was your luggage with Mr. Collingwood's at Charing Cross?" he asked—blandly still, but with a threatening hint of what was to come in his voice.
"All the luggage was together when I saw it."
"All? The luggage of the whole party?"
"Yes," Peggy replied.
"Was it labelled, Mrs. Admaston? I mean, apart from the railway labels?"
"Mine wasn't."
"Don't you generally label your luggage when you go abroad?" Sir Robert continued.
