Julian stood still on the doorstep.
"Who said that, Lawler?" he asked.
The servant looked at him in surprise.
"Mr. Valentine, sir."
"Mr. Valentine?"
"Yes, sir."
"Of course, of course. But his voice, didn't—didn't you notice-"
"It was Mr. Valentine's usual voice, sir," Lawler said, with increasing astonishment.
"I'm upset to-night," Julian muttered.
He went into the house and Lawler closed the street door.
