LESSE FOREST
As they came out of the forest and crossed the grassy circle where the fountain was splashing they saw an automobile standing in the drive by the front door.
"What does that mean?" exclaimed Guild, under his breath.
Both had halted, checked by the same impulse.
"Is it likely to be Baron von Reiter?" he asked, coldly.
She said, with admirable composure: "Whoever it is, we shall have to go in."
"Yes, of course.... But if it happens to be the Baron——"
"Well?" she asked, looking away from him.
"In that event, have you nothing to say to me—now?"
"Not now."
