The clerk turned to his book and looked over the names of the new arrivals.
Hers was not there!
Mr. Dredmond was in despair.
“Are you sure?” he asked, anxiously.
For reply the clerk placed the book before him, and pointed with his finger to the list of arrivals for the last two days.
It was even as he had said; her name was not there!
For two days after he returned to the “Washington,” making the same inquiries and receiving the same answer.
No, Brownie Douglas had not been there, and she never came.
He sought her at every respectable hotel in London, but not a trace of her could he find.
He haunted the streets where genteel lodgings were advertised, but without success.
