SYNOPSIS A chance meeting between two strangers aboard an English railway train on Armistice Day, 1937, focussea Interest in an extraordinary lost memory mystery. One of the two is Charles Rainier, member of Parliament and steel millionaire. lie remembers nothing from the time of a shell-shock near Arras early in 1917 until nearly three years later when he recovered his own identity on a park bench in Liverpool. The other man, named Harrison, is relating the story. In 1938, Harrison was hired to succeed a Miss Hobbs as Rainier's secretary. Miss Hobb's idolizes Rainier but does not like his wife who is famous for her “celebrity parties.” Harrison has asked Mias Hobbs if Rainier had ever tried to solve the mystery of those “missing” three years. Her replies are vague. Harrison consulted a friend. Dr. Freeman, a noted psychologist, who was acquainted with Rainier’s case but is baffled by it. The doctor docs remark that Mrs. Rainier once was her husband's secretary, a detail that Miss Hobbs had not disclosed. The mind specialist leaves Harrison with the impression that he suspects Mrs. Rainier. Miss Hobbs, and Sheldon, the veteran butler, are “hiding something." Harrison goes to one of Mrs. Raini'-r's "celebrity luncheons” at Kenmore, after which he and she converse in her “secret garden.” CHAPTER NINE 1 asked Mrs. Rainier why aha I thought he wax never at peace. “For one thing, he’s so terribly I overworked.” “Yes, I know, but apart from i that?" “Oh, well, it’s hard for anyone to feel at peace these days. Don’t you think so?" "What about the men y«n» aometimes see outside their cottages in the country?” She smiled, suddenly on the defensive, sure now that I didn't know as much as she had half suspected, and for that reason anxious not to give me any further opening. “They’re probably not really at peace at all—just too old and tired to worry about things any more." As we entered the house the social manner closed about her like the fall of a curtain. "Now that we’re becoming fnends you must come to Stourton tor week ends as soon as we open it np. There's arras secret garden there—l mean one that everybody knows about." I hadn't expected Stourton to be quite so overwhelming. We drove there a few weeks later in four Daimlers — “like a high-speed funeral," said Rainier, who was in a macabre mood altogether; three of them packed with luggage and servants from Kenmore, the first one containing ourselves and an elegant young man named Woburn, who was eoming to catalogue the Stourton library. Moat guests would arrive the following day—perhaps twenty-odd: politicians, peers, actors, novelists, erack tennis players, celebrities of all kinds. !♦ was a warm morning and ax we drove through Reading and Newbury the sun broke through the haze and kindled the full splendor of an English summer, with its ever-changing greens under a dappled sky. > Presently wo turned off the main road and curved for a mile between high hedges; then suddenly, in a distant fold of the downs, a vision in cream-colored stone broke through heavy parkland trees. Woburn. who had not seen it before, joined me in a little gasp of admiration. I We swooped into the final halfmile that ended in a wide Palladian portieo. Rainier observing: “A house like this is like sene kinds of women —toe expensive even to east off. Os course what you really pay for isn’t ths thing itself, but the illusloe*— the sense of ownership, the tntsngible Great 1 Am. Nowadays a bankrupt iiinmoa—the farms don't pay. the hills that belong to me are Just ae tree for enyone else to ream over, the whoto idea of this place is just a legal fletton entitling use to pay MUa. ? think it •euld teener poeaesa ma. if I'd let iL...

nor cadaverous, obsequious nor pompous, he shook the hand that Rainier offered him, bowed to Mrs. Rainier, and gave Woburn and myself a faintly appraising scrutiny until Rainier made the introductions. Then he said: “Well, Mr. Harrison, if this is your first visit to Stourton it probably won’t he your last Mr. Rainier keeps his secretaries a long time." The remark struck me as rather offhandedly familiar as well as a somewhat gauche reminder of Mrs. Rainier's former position, but there was a general laugh, from which I gathered that Sheldon enjoyed privileges of this kind, perhaps on account of age. He was certainly a well-preserved antiquity, with an air of serene yet somehow guarded responsibility; in different cloth*«

he might have looked a cabinet minister, fn contradistinction to those cabinet ministers who, even in their own clothes, look like butlers. By the time 1 had been shown to my room in the East Wing (Stourton, like every grand house of its period, had to have wings) the sun was almost down over the rim of the hills and the slow magie of a summer twilight was beginning to unfold; through my window the vista of formal gardens and distant skyline was entrancingly beautiful I was admiring it as Rainier en* tered with Woburn, whom he had been showing round the library- “I hope you don’t object to views," he said. “I know it’s the latest artistic fad to consider them rather vulgar. I put in these large windows myself, against all the advice of architect* who said this sort of house shouldn’t have them. Otherwise, except for a few extra bathrooms, I haven’t touched the place." Behind the two of them stood Sheldon, announcing that our baths were ready; Rainier turned then and led us across th* corridor into an extraordinary room of Moorish design embellished with fluted columns and Arabic gargoyle* and a high domed ceiling. He watched our faces and seemed to derive a certain satisfaction. “My father built this," he explained, “a* what he called an extra billiard room, lie made th* bulk of his fortune during the Edwardian era, when the social hallmark was to have a billiard room, and during the last year of th* war, when money was coming in *o fast h* didn’t know what to do with it, he conceived the idea of an antra billiard room a* a symbol of utter superfluity. . . . At least, that’s the only theory I can imagine. 1 don’t think a single game of billiards was ever played tn it. and I turned it into a bathhouse without any feeling *f impiety " We went through the room, which was furnished with divans and sunray lamp*. tn** a further apartment containing a row of small but quit* modern eubid* bathrooms.
