WHAT LYNNE QOVERHEARD The rest of the day passed quickly. whilse Lynne bought everything she thought she would need. Days on the high plateau of the Khorasan were hot as a rule, and nights were cold. Plenty of blankets were as essential as knaki shirts and slacks for day wear. Lynne was thoughtful, however, and rather nervous as the time for her inâ€" terview with Guthrie drew near. If he proved reasonable then for her the adâ€" venture would be at an end. It would be disappcinting, and yetâ€"she hardly knew what she hoped for! At nine o‘clock she tock a taxi to Cower Street and walked in through sho ont THURSDAY. JULY 15TH, 1937 "Oh?" Guthrie looked surprised. He noticed the flaming hair, the dazzling fairness of the face before him, the eyes that were bright with a meaning that he could not quite fathom. "What can I do for you?"

But they got no further for a short, dark man with a beard and spectacles came hastening across the hallway, and pulled up short in front of Guthrie, sayâ€" ing: with which Guthrie had emerged from the lecture room vanished. He was puzzled, but his looks implied that he was not averse from talking with one so beautiful. They moved back into the lecture room. So the®interview was postponed while he and Guthrie ot their business done. They moved a little way away from where Lynne was sitting. She noticed that Guthrie‘s eye was on her most of the time while he was talking. Then they moved down towards the door, and she heard most of what they were sayâ€" Ssa V They were now standing within a few feet of Lynne,. and she heard everything they said. "Shaley didn‘t trust him," said Guthrie. "I disliked him on sight, myâ€" self. In fact, he strikes me as being a hound of the worst description." Lynne, with an uneasy feeling, wondered of whom they were speaking; and she was not long in doubt, for the big man searched his memory aloud in a booming voice. ‘"Toâ€"mcorrow!" said the bearded man "You‘re in a hurry, aren‘t you?" Lynne could not hear Guthrie‘s reply but the big man spoke more loudly: "Oh? Is that so? He‘s no use, yoI "Ormond?" he said. "Orm aon‘t remember the fellow!"
