208 SHOULD SHE HAVE LEFT HIM? “No; your father is there, but he was not at the dinner.” Mrs. Waldemar plainly showed increased agita- tion. ‘‘Thank you, Mr. Magrane,” she said, “please tell the driver to go on.” He complied with her request, and the driver asked where he should drive to. Hilda heard him and cried out: ‘Anywhere. Around the block, anywhere, only hurry.” Astonished, Mr. Magrane watched the carriage drive away. Then he walked off in the opposite direction, and at the corner of the street waited for a car which passed on the cross street. He waited long enough to see a carriage, which he was satisfied was the one occupied by Hilda, turn the corner and take up a station on the opposite side of the street at a point from which a view of the Trescotte door could be commanded. “Something’s wrong,” he said to himself as he stepped into the car which bore him away.
