But its important that Ishould know tomorrow how it has worked. I thanked her very gratefully for her kindness. And it waslucky that I did turn the light out. Then I replaced it in its white cardboard box, set everything inorder, and slipped out of the room. For she continued quickly: Youre astonished, but you dont knowhim. Why, I should be mistress of the positionand Diana would be unhurt. I would not distress you, said Hanaud apologetically. I have givenyou quite a small dose to be on the safe side. But at thesame time I realized that I wasnt being very wise. I promised to let her know, and took the crystals to my room. Very likelyeveryone will be compelled to unmask. EvelynDevenish first of all laughed contemptuously at my innocence. And thensuddenly she clapped her hands to her eyes and burst into a torrent oftears. But afterthat I had nothing to do and I have never known time creep so slowly. The dress itselfshowed that she was to take an actual part in the celebration. But no such baffling problems were presented to her byHanaud. No one, I argued, of all those present can afford to give one word ofinformation about this crime. I passed through behind him and EvelynDevenish, and I kicked it to with my foot. He slippedoff his long coat, and I saw that he was wearing a priests cassock. The voice which had ordered, Lock the door! Evelyn Devenish laughed, upon a low thrilling note. And thensuddenly she clapped her hands to her eyes and burst into a torrent oftears. I followed him, with a prayer on my lips and a terrible fear at myheart. XXVII: THE INSPIRATION FROM THE MASKBUT even then Hanaud must interfere. I waved with my hand, The answer is in thenegative, and climbed into the dickey. Her memories ofthat night were not unnaturally confused. The front doorof the house was open and the passage lit. She looked at Robin Webster, hereyes shining bright through the holes of a black silk mask. I had made up my mind to wait for an hour and a half before I stole downto Dianas room. His face was patched withred and his hands shaking. I imagined Evelyn Devenish gloating over me, her hate satisfied. XXVII: THE INSPIRATION FROM THE MASKBUT even then Hanaud must interfere. I was afraid for a moment that the celebration might be put off untilthe Friday. I remember that it was exactly ten minutes toeleven when I began to prepare myself for bed. Joyce blushed and answered rather shyly: Im afraid that I did. Ilocked myself in, turned on my light, and like a fool collapsed on mybed. In the event of her unexpected return,escape to my own room would be simple. _______________________________________________ Adeos-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/adeos-main
