CHAPTER XV
The Bargain
When Maurice stepped off trio
train at Waterloo he was consider-
aply surprised. to behold Harry Isere'
welting for him;
"Holloal Surely you haven't had
much to. do. Very decent of you to
cone and meet pie. I ought to have
asked you down • to Dorking—sly
mother scolded pie for not doing so.
But I knew that they had a house-
ful, and I wasn't sure about there
being room,"
"Oil, It's all right, I managed to
put in the day. The afternoon has
been . rather lively.. Miss Vandom
called to see you."
Lionel gave a slight start.
"She did—,what then? Did you
see her?"
"Yes. 'When she heard. that you
were out she asked for me."
"The deuce she did! What did
she want?"
"Her sister .has been rather iii all
day and wanted to see you. M1liss
Vandom simply wished to know
when you were returning to town
this evening. Then I asked whether
I could be of any use."
"What did she say?"
"She said -that I could, and asked
me to go round to Clare Street with
her."
"But you refused the invitation,
of course?"
Maurice stood still on the kerb
and spoke rather shortly,
"No, I went."
"Why? Didn't you thin!: it was
an unusual think that the whole af-
fair was--was—well, to say the
least of it—queer?"
"Did you go round to Clare St.,
then?"
