"And when you carried the paper in to Mr. Boyne, what did he say?" The kitchen maid did not think that Mr. Boyne had said anything, but she could not be sure, for just as she had handed him the paper and he was opening it, she had become aware that the visitor had followed her into the library, and she had slipped out, leaving the two gentlemen together. "But then, if you left them in the library, how do you know that they went out of the house?" AND WHEN YOU CARRIED THE PAPER INTO MISTER BOYNE WHAT DID HE SAY THE KITCHEN MAID DID NOT THINK THAT MISTER BOYNE HAD SAID ANYTHING BUT SHE COULD NOT BE SURE FOR JUST AS SHE HAD HANDED HIM THE PAPER AND HE WAS OPENING IT SHE HAD BECOME AWARE THAT THE VISITOR HAD FOLLOWED HER INTO THE LIBRARY AND SHE HAD SLIPPED OUT LEAVING THE TWO GENTLEMEN TOGETHER BUT THEN IF YOU LEFT THEM IN THE LIBRARY HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT THEY WENT OUT OF THE HOUSE

Trimmle, at the behest, vanished in a flash, as if thankful to be out of the room, and when she reappeared, conducting the agitated underling, Mary had regained her self-possession, and had her questions pat. The gentleman was a stranger, yes--that she understood. But what had he said? And, above all, what had he looked like? The first question was easily enough answered, for the disconcerting reason that he had said so little--had merely asked for Mr. Boyne, and, scribbling something on a bit of paper, had requested that it should at once be carried in to him. "Then you don't know what he wrote? You're not sure it was his name?" The kitchen-maid was not sure, but supposed it was, since he had written it in answer to her inquiry as to whom she should announce. ISCOVERABLE AMONG THE LETTERS AND PAGES OF MANUSCRIPT WHICH HAD BEEN SWEPT TOGETHER IN A HEAP AS IF BY A HURRIED OR A STARTLED GESTURE BUT THE KITCHEN MAID SAW HIM SEND HER HERE SHE COMMANDED WONDERING AT HER DULNESS IN NOT THINKING SOONER OF SO SIMPLE A SOLUTION TRIMMEL VANISHED IN A FLASH AS IF THANKFUL TO BE OUT OF THE ROOM AND WHEN SHE REAPPEARED CONDUCTING THE AGITATED UNDERLING MARY HAD REGAINED HER SELF POSSESSION AND HAD HER QUESTIONS READY THE GENTLEMAN WAS A STRANGER YES THAT SHE UNDERSTOOD BUT WHAT HAD HE SAID AND ABOVE ALL WHAT HAD HE LOOKED LIKE THE FIRST QUESTION WAS EASILY ENOUGH ANSWERED FOR THE DISCONCERTING REASON THAT HE HAD SAID SO LITTLE HAD MERELY ASKED FOR MISTER BOYNE AND SCRIBBLING SOMETHING ON A PIECE OF PAPER HAD REQUESTED THAT IT SHOULD AT ONCE BE CARRIED IN TO HIM THEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HE WROTE YOU'RE NOT SURE IT WAS HIS NAME THE KITCHEN MAID WAS NOT SURE BUT SUPPOSING IT WAS SINCE HE HAD WRITTEN IT IN ANSWER TO HER INQUIRY AS TO WHOM SHE SHOULD ANNOUNCE
