"My dear Mrs. Majendie, I'm keeping nothing from you, I assure you. The doctors have told me no more than they have told you."
"I know. It's not that."
"What is it that's troubling you?"
"Did you see Walter before he came here?"
"Yes."
"Did you see him on Friday night?"
"Yes."
"Was he perfectly well then?"
"Er—yes—he was well. Quite well."
Anne turned her sorrowful eyes upon him.
