But that might mean nothing. Those narâ€" row éyes were extremely sophisticated behind the scanty eyebrows under the thinning hair. He took no notice of Brocklebank as he passsd out of the car. But Brockleâ€" bank ‘remembered that he had left his suitâ€"case locked in the compartment. After what he had seen in New York, he wondersd whether the narrowâ€" eyedf man might be curious about its conâ€" tents. That would involve ugly conâ€" clusionsâ€"for example, that his departâ€"| ure from New York had been observed and cabled to England, that his desâ€" tmation and the object of his jJournsy were known, and that Pamela Harrison was in the danger her uncle had imagined but hardly feared. It seemed unlikely, but it might be true. If it were true, the narrowâ€"eyed man would not find what he wanted in Brockleâ€" bank‘s suitcase. He might come to the conclusion that Brocklebank had it on his person. And if so . . He hurried through his dinner and returned to his corner. There were still nearly two hours to go in the train, and then that drive late at nizht down to the quay at La Jolistte. Brocklebank was taking no chances.

How could he have known a fortâ€" night ago that he‘d now be in the raâ€" pide on the way to Marseilles? Or that a partly bald man with narrow eyes and a little moustache would be traâ€" velling with him? Or any of the weird things that happened simply because he went down to Battery Park that Saturday afternoon?
