Angered by the selfish way in which David had acted, Jen did not communicate his discoveries to the young man. During the night he took counsel with himself, and the next morning he acted upon the plans which he had formed. These were, to see Dido and force the truth from her, to send Battersea to Deanminster to fetch both Arkel and Dr. Etwald to "Ashantee," and finally to communicate his discoveries to the inspector and get him to arrest Etwald.

"Don't say that, darling, ever again," I said as I bent over him. "Your father is the best man in the world, and you must never, never leave him." Judith scanned the doors critically, her brows puckered and her head aslant. Elinor sat looking at him with her eyes shining, and then she drew a quick breath.
