"It
won't
make
any
difference."
She
glanced
at
the
clock.
"Mr.
Greatson,"
she
said,
"I
have
given
you
as
much
of
my
time
as
I
can
spare.
You
are
an
intruder
here.
Please
leave
me."
"Will
you
promise
me
this,
then."
he
pleaded;
"It
Isn't
much
to
ask?
Will
you
wait
until
five
minutes
past
10
before
you
leave
here?"
"I
will
make
no
promise
of
any
sort,'
"she
answered.
"Whatever
my
plans
may
be
and
I
shall
not
tell
you
what
they
are
I
shall
carry
them
out
to
the
letter;
and
hand

of
conducting
your
af
fairs.
You
may
mean
well
yourself
I
don't
care
whether
you
do
or
not
but
I
hate
you
all."
He
turned
away.
He
was
a
young
man
of
understanding,
and
he
knew
that
he
had
as
much
chance
of
moving
Miss
Brown
as
one
of
the
pyramids.
"I
am
sorry,"
he
said,
simply.
"Please
remember
my
last
words
to
you.
Any
one
In
the
world
might
be
five
minutes
late
In
keeping
an
appointment.
I
have
not
come
here
for
nothing.
Please
believe
that."
She
watched
him
from
the
window
cross
the
road
and
disappear
In
the
alley,
walking
slowly
and
apparently
deep
In
thought.
Then
she
put
on
her
hat,
hesitated
for
a
moment
over
her
choice
of
outer
garments,
and,
finally,
although
it
w&s
raining
a
little,
discarded
the
brown
mackintosh
and
!
slipped
on
the
fur
coat.

of

"Get

ordered
the
chauffeur,
who
was
already
unfastening

of

"Nothing

The

took-the

who
made
not

effort
to
escape.
Into

His
captor
breathed
a
word
into

and
was
at

greeted
with
a
salute
"I'll

tne
offender
promised.

"What
did

do

for?"
The
man
grinned,
showing

of
yellow,

teeth.
"Ten

he
answered,
