And here, at this point, the personality of Dr. Etwald intruded itself into the affair. It was Etwald who had bound up the wound with the handkerchief in question, and who, according to the housemaid, had forbidden its removal. The question was, had he received it from Mrs. Dallas, or had he found it on that night by the side of the insensible man.

She hurried to her, while her companion dropped behind to exchange notes with one of the men from the composition room. When Elinor and Patricia were alone, Patricia opened the subject that had been occupying her thought for the last few minutes. "Why don't you do something?" cried Patricia again. "Why don't you tell him? Griffin, it wasn't true—that she copied it! You know she'd not do a thing like that!".
