"Griffin may keep us sitting here for hours——" At this moment the door of the library opened slowly, and Dr. Etwald, calm and composed, appeared on the threshold. Behind him, over his shoulder, peered the pale countenance of David. From the ironical look on the doctor's face it would appear that he had overheard the accusation of the major, and was prepared to treat it with contempt.

Battersea gave me a hint, upon which I am determined to work. To-night I may learn the truth.".
