"Lord Chetwynde?"
Hilda bowed.
"I am ready," said Gualtier.
"He left this morning, and I don't know where he has gone, but I wish you to go after him."
"I know where he intended to go."
"How? Where?"
"Some of the servants overheard him speaking to Mrs. Hart about going to Italy."
"Italy!"
"Yes. I can come up with him somewhere, if you wish it, and get on his track. But what is it that you wish me to do?"
"In the first place, to follow him up."
