Henry stood still for a minute, listened acutely; then he followed them. There was a hedge of stiffly grow- ing veronica bushes at the foot of the terrace wall. After Henry had gone in, the man called George Pat- terson came out from behind the bushes at the far end of the terrace. He walked slowly with a dragging step, keeping in the shadow of the house, and he made his way to the far end of the north wing Inside the vellow drawing room He: was bidding his hostess good night and announcing his intention of taking a moonlight stroll ently he emerged upon the ter- OW'41e Pr THE SUNDAY race, descended the steps on the right and made his way in the dl- rection taken by George Patterson. CHAPTER IX, When Jane reached her own room, she stood & long time in front of the glass frowning at herself. It might be safe to look so exactly like a schoolgir], but it was very, very hu- millating. Henry had never glanced at her once. That, of course, way all in the line of rafety too, should Henry look —at should she wish him to do so? She was not in love with him? She had, in fact, refused him. Could it be that there was & little balm in this thought? What did it matter to her how long he looked at Raymond Heritage? She took off the white muslin dress and put it away. The worst part of being Renata was, not the risk, but having to weaf Renata’s clothes. All the things were good, horribly good, and they were all quite extraordinarily dull. “If your shoes want mending, and your things are threadbare, every one knows it's because you're poor, and not because you llke being down at heel and out at elbows., But Renata's things must have cost quite a lot, and, of course, every one thinks they ure my choice.” By some deflected line of reasoning “every one" meant Henry. Jane folded up the pale blue sash {and shut it sharply into a drawer. Then she put on Renata's dressing gown. It was made of crimson flan- nel, very thick and soft, with scal- loped edges to the collar and cuffe— “exactly llke one's grandmother's petticoat.” She rumpled the bedclothes and disarranged the pillows. Then she put out the light, sat down on the win- dow seat and waited. The blind was up; she had slipped behind the chintz curtains. The ter- race lay beneath her, only half in phadow now. There no sound in the house, no sound from the Sea. The line of shadow moved backward inch by inch. When Jane sat down to walt she told herselt that she would not listen and strain; she would just sit there quite peacefully, and if anything was going to happen—well, let it happen. But &3 she sat there she became afraid against her will, aware once more of that sense of pressure which had come upon her in the drawing room. It was as if something was steadlly aproaching not her alone, but all of them—as if thelr thoughts and actions were being, at one and the same time, dictated by an outside force and scrutinized — watched — spled_upon.
