point.
Miss
St.
Maur
said
that
after
the
lights
were
turned
out
and
Mr.
Thesiger
went
over
to
the
window,
he
was
so
still
that
she
thought
he
must
have
left
the
room
and
gone
outside.
Now,
if
any
one
is
in
the
room,
you
can
hardly
help
hearing
their
breathing
if
you
are
listening
for
it.
Supposing,
then,
that
Mr.
Thesiger
had
gone
outside.
Where
next?

them
down

girl,
climbs
down
the
ivy
again,
and
starts
the
fight.

enough

you

of

for
an

over
in

climbs
through

and
conies
up
to
the

at

a

at

she
picks
it
up.

down

and
she

to

What
will

do?

"But

Miss

runs
straight
into

And
at

changes.
