He was in shirt and trous- ers, with no covering to Ills feet. 1 could merely see the Online, but his height told me that it was Barrymore.. He walked very slowly. and cIrcuna spectly, and there was something in- describably guilty and furtive in his whole appearance. I have told you that the corridor is broken by the balcony which runia round the hall, but that it is ?esumed upon the farther side. I waited until be had passed out of sight and then 1 .
