"I know that woman was here. I do not know whether he came here to meet her."
"Ah well—that I can assure you he did not."
"Still—he must have met her. She was here."
"How do you know that she was here?"
"You saw her yourself, coming out of the hotel. You were horrified, and you pulled me back so that I shouldn't see her."
"There's nothing in that, nothing whatever."
"If you'd seen your own face, Mr. Hannay, you would have said there was everything in it."
"My face, dear Mrs. Majendie, does not prove that they met. Or that there was any reason why they shouldn't meet. It only proves my fear lest Lady Cayley should stop and speak to you. A thing she wouldn't be very likely to do if they had met—as you suppose."
"There is nothing that woman wouldn't do."
"She wouldn't do that. She wouldn't do that."
