She has not yet returned.” “Early this morning—alone?” he repeated, reflectively. As he spoke Mrs. Wilmot came downstairs with her usual aristo- cratic leisureliness. She was the picture of a plump, while-haired, grandmotherly old patricion. Her soft and rather full mouth hardened as she took in the significance of Morse’s phrase. “You say Anne has gone out—alone—after you expressly asked her not to?” Morse nodded. At a slight sign of dismissal, Jarvis vanished. Morse drew up a chair for Mrs. Wilmot and after an exchange of pleasan- tries, sat down near her. “I want to speak very seriously with you,” he began. “I want you to try to impress upon your niece that it is dangerous for her to go to the mountains alone.
