"Mr. Lamotte and his son."
"Had you any reason for thinking that Doctor Heath purposely avoided a meeting with these gentlemen?"
"Not at that time;" flushing slightly.
"Go on, Miss Wardour."
She resumes her story, telling all that she can remember of the call, of Frank's return, and of Sybil's letter.
"About this letter, I would rather not speak, Mr. Wedron; it can not affect the case."
"It does affect the case," he replies quickly. "Pray omit no details just here."
She resumes: telling the story of that long day, of Clifford Heath's second visit, and of the news of Sybil Lamotte's flight.
She tells how, at sunset, she opened the strange letter, and how, bewildered and startled out of herself, she put it into Clifford Heath's hands, and called upon him to advise her.
Almost word for word she repeats his comments, and then she hesitates.
