"Heriot!"
"If you mean my father, I did not find him."
He looked at her sarcastically, and added, "He didn't mention that himself, of course?"
"I haven't seen him!" she almost shouted.
He looked thoroughly startled now.
"Hasn't he been here?"
"He was only in the house for an hour. That was the day before yesterday. He didn't let me know he was here—he didn't let his sister know—nobody knew but Jean!"
"Where was he staying?"
"At an hotel."
