documents. It has been ascertained that, at the close of September,
Mr. Loscombe was absent from the office. If he was then employed in
superintending the execution of his client's will--which is quite
possible--it follows clearly that he was in the secret of Mr. Vanstone's
address after the removal of the 4th of September; and if you can do
nothing on your side, it may be desirable to have the lawyer watched on
ours. In any case, it is certainly ascertained that Mr. Noel Vanstone
has made his will since his marriage. I leave you to draw your own
conclusions from that fact, and remain, in the hope of hearing from you
shortly,
"Your faithful servant,
"ALFRED DE BLERIOT."

_From Miss Garth to Mr. Pendril._
"Portland Place, October 28th.
"MY DEAR SIR--Mrs. Lecount has just left us. If it was not too late to
wish, I should wish, from the bottom of my heart, that Norah had taken
your advice, and had refused to see her.
"I write in such distress of mind that I cannot hope to give you a clear
and complete account of the interview. I can only tell you briefly what
Mrs. Lecount has done, and what our situation now is.
