Ralph sat down obediently. He looked rather younger in the flesh than in his photographs, and the intense dark of his eyes and hair proved upon closer examination to be only a deep reddish brown:; but the face remainey disturbing, primitive, and haggard and imperious. He had a smile for Molly, but it was a very perfunctory smile, "I‘m glad you have someone here to take care of you," he said. "You‘ve lost flesh, Bar. I‘ve worried you terâ€" ribly, I know. I‘m sorry." "It‘s been a bad time for all of us But you couldn‘t help it," she added eagerly. mus! â€"ROBERT MONTALBAN: His son who has been master of the family sea for twenty vears. He has three sons: ROBERT, Junior, crippled in a road smash â€"(unmarried). RALPH : <married) CHARLES, 21 cunmarried). and two unmarried daughters ELSITF and CLEONE. The door opened with no knock, and Ralph Montalban came in, rather as if he had been away for a weekâ€"end. He gave Molly a glance, and appeared to sum her up accurately at once. He came tsraight to the bedside, and bent and kissed his wife lightly. "It‘s nice to see you, Ralph," she said almost timidly, and made a shy gesture of invitation. "Do sit by me. I‘m not really ill, though Doctor Leonard inâ€" sists on making me have a nurse." e cast a more confident smile at Molly. ‘‘Nurse Balcon only arrived a few minutes ago." BARBARA MONTALBAN: Wife of Ralph. MAILIA DAUNT: Met her death at Montalban in mysterious circumstances MOLLY BALCON, at the pressing request of Dr. Leonard, goss to Monâ€" talban to take care of BARBARA MONTALEAN and her threeâ€"monthsâ€" old infant. Barbara‘s husband, RALPH MONTALBAN, has just been acquitted on a charge of murdering MAILIA DAUNT, and the trial has aroused wideâ€"spread interest. CHAPTER II (Continued) RETURN OF THE ACCUSED The reunion of husband and wife was not dramatic, though there should have been drama enough in the homeâ€" coming of a man newly acquitted of murder. It was plain to Molly that Ralph‘s wife was still sufficiently fond of her husband to wish to be beautiful in his eyes. Instinctively the patient locked round for a mirror. Molly read the thought and put the heavy handâ€" mirror from the dressingâ€"table into her hands. "He won‘t be hard to please," said Molly, and realized with some surprise that the remark was almost in Cleone‘s manner. However, it was scarcely heard. Whatever the welcome below, Ralph Montalban ~was permitted to climb the dazzling oak staircase alone. "IT‘ll leave you to him," said Molly. "I must go and see Mrs. Foresâ€" ter, and do some unpacking." To her astonishment Mrs. Ralph caught at her hand. "No, please don‘t go, Nurse. Not yet. Stay with me just a minute after he comes, and then ifâ€"if everything seems all rightâ€"â€"" "But of course everything will be all "But of course everything will be all right," said Molly soothingly. The little creature clung, and her hands were dry and thin, "You see, I don‘t know how I stand. He was in love with her. You must know that, if you read the papers at all. Everyone in England knows my husband loved that woman. Why should I pretend I don‘t realize it? I do. I‘ve always known. When she used to sit down by the lake with her lute, and everyone went out to listen to her, and he wouldn‘t go. I knew then. And when she used to sit watching him, following him around with those eyes of hexs She had to have them all. All the men â€"every man there wasâ€"â€"â€"*" She lookâ€" ed up. Her eyes were ‘brilliant and vindictive. . ‘"How do I know he‘ll be glad to come back? Maybe he wishes he was going to hang." ‘‘"‘There‘s his baby," said Molly senâ€" stbhly. "Don‘t forget you have that hold on him. Besides, I think you‘re forgetting that her influence has been gone for three months, Of course he‘ll be glad to come home. ‘And gladâ€" der than you can imagine to see you again." LAWRENCE SEVERN: Secretaryâ€" companion to the veteran Sir John. ‘Hullo, Barbara!l How are you dear?" Soon after Molly takes over her duties, the acquitted husband reaches home after release.

TI‘ve told youâ€"*" _ "Really," thought Molly, treading slowly down the wonderful, orangeâ€" glowing stairs, "I don‘t see that anyâ€" one here needs me, unless it‘s the baby.

Alone with Mrs. Forester, she ate and listened. ‘‘Mr. Severn is old Sir Jchn‘s atâ€" tendantâ€"male nurse, if you like, though to be sure I don‘t think the old gentleman needs a nurse, exactly, even if he is nearly ninety.

This woman could live through all manner of sitrange tragedies and not be moved: changes of staff no doubt there had been since the death of the girl Daunt, but no such slight incident could disâ€" turb the rest of Mrs. Forester. She offered a hand as hard and unâ€" emotional as wood, and was glad to see Nurse Balcon, and hoped Nurse Balcon would be comfortable. Her luggage had, of course, been taken up already to her room; and as she had set out early supper was being prepared for her ‘"‘They seem tCc lucky family," sa "Yes, indeed!" and for once hadc "I don‘t expect to find it so difficult," said Molly, with a slight smile. "Espeâ€" cially with a little coâ€"operation from her husoand." "I‘m glad he‘s behaving himself," said Cleone composedly. "That would have ‘been one more complication. Now perhaps you‘d like to talk to our houseâ€" keeperâ€"and to the girl who‘s been locking after baby. It was purely a temporary arrangementâ€"the girl leaves us toâ€"morrow. ‘Poor creature, she‘ll be glad to go. We are, as you must have noticed already, somewhat wearing to the nerves." Cleone was leading the way along a halfâ€"lit oaken corridor, and her smile, as she loocked back over her shoulder into Molly‘s face, was bitter and wild. ‘‘Don‘t look shocked, Nurse. You must undersâ€"and we‘ve lived with this thing for three months, nearly, and we tired long ago of trying to dress it up and make it 10ok respectable." ‘"Not shocked," said Molly, stung, "merely intrigued." For some reason the most normal of peop‘le resent the supposition that they can ‘be shocked, and Molly was no exception. "You‘ve probably lost the flavour of it yourâ€" selves, but to a mere onlooker it‘s raâ€" ther piquant. However, you know, vou‘ll be helping quite a lot if you‘ll leave it outside Mrs. Ralph‘s bedroom: it doesn‘t do her any good." "I suppose not. Poor Barbaral I‘m really rather sprry for her.
