"It is more than probable you are right; nothing will surprise me more than to learn that he hasn't; all that is wanted is a clue. Tell us on what you found your conviction."
"It is not altogether easy, but I'll try." The faintest touch of colour tinged her cheeks. "You know I am engaged to be married. My father, in congratulating me, said that the fact that Mr. Spencer had no money wouldn't matter, because I should have enough for both. I am sure he would not have said that had it not been true; I know my father."
"In other words, he practically told you that, after he was gone, he would leave you well provided for."
"That was what it amounted to, yes."
"He said nothing about the quarter from which the provision was to come?"
"He said nothing except what I have told you; but, for me, that is enough."
"No doubt, Miss Nora, but what we want is something which will tell us where the money which he spoke of is to be found."
"It will be found."
"Where? how? when? These questions must be answered."
"They will be answered, in God's good time."
