CHAPTER THIKTY-TWO Bnnda watched with fascinated eye* a* the opening grew wider. Bhe was ready to cry out when, with a mixture of anger and relief, aha recognized the long, horsey face and rheumy eyes of the housekeeper. The latter wore a draggled Mother Hubbard and a night-cap, from beneath which thin loeks ot gray hair straggled downward. "For goodness' take, Walker I" Brinda exclaimed in exasperation. “Why don’t you knock—or at least just open the door and come in. Why muat you be so atoelthy!” Walker edged inaide and closed the door behind her. “Beg pardon, Mita,” she anawered hoarsely. "I didn’t go for to startle you.** She gazed owlishly about the room. "There’s strange goings-on about tonight—queer people coming and going. I was in a worry, yon being so late-like, getting home. Maybe you’d be wanting a cup of tea?" Brinda was instantly repentant. Poor old soul—no wonder she had been infected by the miasma of mystery that enveloped the Sanderson home! “That’s thoughtful of you, Walker, dear.” She kicked off her slipper*. "Tea, I’d like some tea, if it isn’t too much trouble." "I’ll fetch It,” said the housekeeper. Still with the same surreptitious air, she vanished at she had seme. By the time she was back, Brinda was undressed and, clad in a loose negligee of yellow silk, lay iWaxed on the big, old-faahioned bad—a massive piece as old it might be as the Sanderson family tree. Walker set the tea on th* table by the bod. “A gentleman telephoned,” aha said, almas t in a whisper. "A foreign gentleman. A Prines ho was. He wanted to know if you was horns yet." She peered intently at Brinda. “Would you be knowing anyone like that?" Brinda smiled. Vaslav, of course. He had been worried when the chauffeur returned without her. "Yes, Walker, 1 know him. Thanki fw Abe tea.* But the housekeeper still lingered, her gase darting here and ther*, her manner fraught with vague forboding. ■ “It's no marvel a Prince wevld **■« unexpectedly. “You're byway of being mor* of a beauty each day.

"Lik* a bandags over her eyes, it is.” Then, as Brinda'* face only expressed further bewilderment, "You mean you've never seen her?” Again, Brinda experienced a weird tingling along her backbone. Could it be that the responsibility of tending the home of Britain’s Intelligence Chief had addled the housekeeper’s brain? But no, Walker looked a* stolid and unimaginative a* ever. Only her eves, rheumv and restless, continued to search the room. Following them, Brindn realized with a start that Walker was peering intently at th* jewel cabinet Too intently. Brinda voce. “Walke.,'* she said decisively, “you’re tired. You’d better go to bed.” Mentally, she decided to put a lock on her door the next day. “Very good, Miss.” The housekeeper picked up the tea-things and turned toward the door. “1 didn't mean to speak wrong. I always try to mind my business. But—" and there was no mistaking the concern in her vole* this time— “do be careful, Mias. Your Unde wouldn't ".ant you to end up like that Mata Harl. Her that got shot by ths French for being a spy.” Ths door closed behind her. “Ugh!" Brinda shivered. Yea, there could be no doubt—the atmosphere of the house was affecting the housekeeper. Too much tragedy and violence—Kenley's murder, the stabbing of Sir John, the bloodstained trunk and Ito horrible content*—no wonder Walker's simple mind was reeling! Yet, as Brinda’* gaae wandered back to the jewel cabinet, it seemed to her for an Icy moment that she, too. saw * dark-haired, graceful woman, with some kind of strange veil over her eye*, kneeling before it.
