She closed the outer door behind her, opened this one, and went in. ' The room gave her a distinct start.

In the circumstances, what was the correct thing to do with the note? Leave it on the hall table? She, had been told it was important, and there it might easily get overlooked. Enter the house, then, and look for someone to whom to give it?

Queen Anne was associated in her thoughts with big. flat-set, wholly dellghtml windows, so these could not be Queen Anne. Nor did they suggest the Georges, for they had no pretensions to classlcism.
