CHAPTER XXV “Wen. difficult or not, it has to be done,’’ Matresser said sternly, “and if you feH in the least doubt as to your instructions, you had better telephone once more to MI7B before you make any false move which would mean the removal of two very able officers from the service. There is to be no arrest until Downing Street permits it, even if you get a confession.” Marlow dejected and puzr.led, took his stave. Yates stroked his chin for several moments thoughtfully. Oqce he moved towards the window and looked up at the sky, then he turned his shaggy head towards Matresser. “Have you received word from London as to your destination, sir?” he asked. Matresser smiled. “For the first time in my life. little man,” he replied, “I am not proposing to tell you. I shall be carrying the burden of a great many secrets. That big man down in the harbor, if he is here for the purpose I believe he is, would boil you alive to find them out.” “He wouldn't succeed.” “Boiling alive is an unpleasant death,” Matresser observed. “We have seen worse,” Yates reminded him. "One thing more,’’ Matresser said emphatically. The little man nodded. "I can juess what it is.” “Don’t let them bully Miss Stamier.” “It would be easier,” Yates suggested, "if you were to get her to tell you why and for whom she bought that hypodermic syringe.” Once more the lights were flaming from behind every window of the Great House. Everyone crowded on to the terrace or on to the balcony above. Out of the clouds had come the roar of the engine of a slowly descending plane. In the center of the Park every man upon the place was engaged in building up with dry timber the bonfire which was to guide the plane down. Matresser was standing in the gunroom doorway. He started at a soft touch upon his shoulder. It was Elisabeth who stood there, a transformed Elisabeth in a tailored suit and a small felt hat, with a row of woodcock feathers which he had himself arranged in the ribbon. She carried a fur coat upon her arm. He looked at her in as- ■ tonishment. "My dear —” She drew him one one side. “Lord Matresser.” she begged, "you must do something for me.” “Well?” "This plane is coming for you. of course. I suppose it means another of your wild expeditions.” "Not that I know of,” he assured her. She pointed to the pile of gun cases, the well-filled cartridge magazines all standing neatly together. "What about those?” Matresser contemplated them aalmly. "Well, there has been a shooting expedition talked of," he admitted. “I thought I had better get ready.” “The shooting expedition that Sir Francis, your Foreign Secretary, came down to see you about, I suppose?” she demanded. “Does that matter?” he asked. She was silent for a few brief moments. "You do not wish to tell me anything,” she complained. “You have nothing to say? You were going to leave me alone here where people are beginning to think horrible things about me.” He threw away the cigarette he \ad been smoking. “Elisabeth,” he remonstrated, “it is not like you to talk like this. I have done everything I can to make your position secure. Any small risk that is left you must run. You may be called upon to face trouble. I am called upon to do what I think is right and I must do it.”

“I want you to take me with you," i she pleaded. I "Where to?” he asked. • “How do 1 know where you are ' going?” shs demanded, stamping i her foot upon the stone floor, i "Wherever it may be—wherever 1 ’ can escape from this atmosphere of ! doubt and unhappiness. You could I put me down somewhere at one of > I the airports 1 will be no trouble to | you. I cannot breathe here any , I longer. I think that the servants i 1 have heard that I am suspected of having murdered that man. They I know that 1 went to Norwich that afternoon. They look at me with ' suspicion. I wish to leave.” “But my dear," he remonstrated, "a word or two from you and everything will be put right even without my help. No cne could imagine for a minute that you could possibly have committed a murder. The simplest thing to do, of course, would be to tell us frankly why you ; bought that wretched thing.” “That I shall not do.” “You make it a little difficult,” he pointed out, “for those who wish to help you." "I cannot help it,” she replied. Elisabeth had drawn as closely to his side as possible in the gunroom where all lights had been extinguished so that they might watch the descending plane. Her shivering body was close to his. For the first time that they had been together she seemed eager to creep into his arms. For some reason or other fear had overtaken her. She was terrified by the loneliness which had accompanied it. Her eyes pleaded with him. She was trembling for just a reassuring touch. Her lips would have been unlocked in a single moment if he had spoken the word. Matresser was looking down at her perhaps with more kindliness in his eyes than she had ever seen there before, yet his mouth was hopelessly set, the lines in his face were deepened and he shook his head slowly. "If I leave in that plane,” he said, “I must leave alone. There is no changing that.” “I would like, then, to leave in my own car,” she announced. He passed his arm through hers and drew her away through the great oak portals of the room and across the courtyard. The bonfire in the Park was burning brightly now and the plane was sweeping around it, slower and slower. No one noticed them as they passed towards the garage. Everyone was gazing toward the sky. “I had hoped to find you a little more reasonable,” he complained. “It is you who are unreasonable,” she declared coldly. “You have changed. You have adopted an air of authority. It is admirable in a way but 1 do not like to have it exI ercised against me. I simply asked ! tobeyour fellow passenger. I should have been no trouble—no responsibility. If evil had come I should have met it eagerly—with you.” “You are asking for an impossibility,” he replied. “Under no conditions could I accept anyone as a .fellow passenger on this journey.” Elisabeth made no reply. On foot, Elisabeth and Matresser had reached the garage. A sergeant of police was standing in front of it. “Your lordship will excuse me,” the sergeant begged. “The orders t are that no car is to leave- ” “Don't be foolish, Harrison," Matresser enjoined. "This is my ' garage and on my property. I take . full responsibility for what I am 1 doing.” The man saluted and stood to one side. A footman from the House arrived with a suit-case. Matresser himself backed the small car into the drive. Elisabeth ensconced herself in it and with some reluctance held out her hand. Her eyes were very sad but she struggled with a ] smile. "It waz not like this.” she con- i

tided, “that 1 wished to leave i >• Great House.” * * Matresser crossed the north end of the Park with sw>ft footel . cp *h"v stood amid the little crowd which saw the plane finally come to • standstill. The mechanic and p ot, its sole oceupanto, unstrapped hem selves and descended. The pilot a tall, fair-haired and blue-e>«d young man—stretched himself once, removed his helmet and came across toward the outstanding figure of tne scattered group. He saluted “You have come for me. Matres ser asked. “We have come," the young man answered in correct but rather hesitating English, “to be on tne spo when the time comes for you to join us. We do nothing until you have spoken with those who give the directions.” j“I see,” was the somewhat disappointed reply. . „ “We can put your kit aboard, sir, the young man proposed. "My mechanic will need a half hour with the engine. I should introduce myself. We have no names in this service. I am Pilot Number 17. “Capital! lam Lord Matresser. You will come along to the Houss with me. There will be time for a bath and some dinner, perhaps.” The pilot shook his head. “My orders forbid me to leave the plane, he regretted. Then he added; “Your message will arrive by a special line attached to your telephone any moment tonight. . . If I might make the request, sir, you would do well to be in your house awaiting it As soon as possible after its receipt we shall start.” “Within ten minutes after receiving the message,” Matresser agreed, “I’ll take my place in the plane." * • « The master of the House had rather a bad time of it during the quarter of an hour before dinner. Even his mother, in whose eyes he could do no wrong, was a bit severe. “I simply do not understand it, Ronald,” she said. "Miss Stamier, of whom we were all very fond, was a delightful member of this household. That she should have left us like this, with only one pathetic word of farewell to Ann, is to me utterly inexplicable. You seem to have been the mi\v one favored by her confidence. Surely you can help us understand what has happened.” “It must have been some sudden trouble,” Ann put in. “Surely you could have helped her.” "I did what I could,” Matresser assured them. “I wanted her to stay as badly as any of you. I can assure you that any influence I might possess was exerted to keep her here.” “One feels that she must have been hurt or frightened in some way,” Andrews, who had been invited in to dine, declared. “She gave no hope of returning?” "Kot the slightest. I don’t even know where she has gone.” “She went in her own car,” Ann observed. “How did she manage that?” “Well, I can explain that,” Matrosser said. “I took the seal off myself, had Miss Stamier’s car wheeled out and started her off. I would not be surprised if ths police reported me to the Home Office!” “I am very glad indeed,” Lady Matresser approved, “that you were able to do something, Ronald, to I prove our confidence in her. At the i same time, the situation is most un- | pleasant. I was very fond of Elisai beth and the greatest pleasure I had I in life, outside my family, was her I mu'ic. I have written about her to the Austrian Embassy.” “So have I,” Ann told them. The doctor coughed. “I have to lie in London in a few days,” he confided. “Would it be of any as. sistance if i went, say tomorrow, and tried to locate her?” “It could do no harm,” Lady Matresser acquiesced. “You and ] she were very good friends."
