“Two left, Sir, when Sir Reginald took ill; but Lord Wynderbroke remains.”
“Oh! and where is he?”
“Sir Reginald sent for him, please, Sir—just as I came up—to his room.”
“Very good, then I shall find them both together. Now, Alice, I must find you and your maid in the cab in five minutes. I shall get your leave from Reginald, and you order the fellow to drive down to the little church gate in the village close by, and I'll walk after and join you there in a few minutes. Lose no time.”
With this parting charge, Uncle David ran down the stairs, and met Lord Wynderbroke at the foot of them, returning from his visit of charity to Sir Reginald's room.
