At last he determined to try it.
There could be no harm done.
At the same time he had a chance to accomplish a great work.
A new thought had entered Eric’s head.
Even if Lillian was guilty he might through some work, skillfully arranged, so manage it that the disturbing element should be removed, and their lives flow on smoothly again.
This was his highest hope.
That he would find Lillian innocent had ceased to enter into his calculations.
He only hoped for a half way victory. It was noon when he went out, and stopping in a restaurant he had dinner. His plan was arranged.
If he could effect a meeting with the artist, the worst would soon be known, and he would also discover what sort of man Prescott was.
He knew where the latter had his studio, and presently was bound for Fourteenth Street to interview the artist. What would come of that interview no one could tell, but Eric hoped for a favorable issue.
