Off they raced, and came panting into the station, to find the express ten minutes late, and David just stepping from the platform of the still moving line of cars. "I can understand all that," interrupted Jen, "but the similarity of the perfumes? I must have that point cleared up." "Well," said Arkel, making his invariable beginning, "when the body was placed in the carriage and the door closed, the woman went away." "I am not in love with Lady Meg, my dear fellow," said he, sharply; "but if you must know, I admire"--this with emphasis--"Miss Dallas.".
