Miss

did
not

She
looked
around

room,
and
her
eyes
conjured
up
the
horror
which
must
rest
behind
that
heavy
leather
screen.
She
stared
at
the
protruding
foot.
"The

she
knew
him
better
than
to
refuse.
As
a
matter
of

although
she
was
conscious
of
no
fatigue,
she
was
glad
of
the
wine.
He
moved

a

and
retted
upon

I
lost

You

Miss
Brown,

you're
carrying
your
life
In
your
hands,
and
the
lives
of

people.'
The
wine
was
brought.
He
sipped
his
brandy
meditatively;
she
drank
half
a
glassful
of
her
port
at
a
gulp.
"So
you
smelt
the
gunpowder?"
he
asked
abruptly.
"I

entered

"Observant,"
he
remarked,
ap
provingly.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
was
an
impression
of
shrunken-ness
about
the
lips.
Miss
Brown
looked
at
him
long
and
thoughtfully,
placing
him
in
those
long
Journeylnes
through
that
stranze,
phantasmagoric
story.
She
came
back
to
her
place
with
steady
footsteps,
resumed
her
seat
and
imisned
her
glass
of
wine,

There
was
a
gleam
almost
of
admiration
in
Desslter's
eyes
as
he
loosed
at
nis
questioner.
"Mergen
will
arrange
something

he
said.
"You
see,
I

and

I
can

you

"
She
could
have
cried
out
in
passionate
protest
against
his
calm
acceptance
of
his
fate,
have
reminded
him
wildly
that
a
man
who
had
lived
his
life
and
achieved
what
he
had
achieved
should"
defy
even
death.
She
could
have
fallen
upon
her
knees
and
Implored
him
to
have
his
wound
dressed,
to
keep
his
feet
upon
the
earth
but
she
did
none
of
these
things.
"I
cannot
see
any
reason
why
you
should
die,"
she
said,
in
her
ordinary,
matter-of-fact
tone.
"You
should
give

at

rate,
