- CHAPTER ONE
- AN ARABIAN NIGHT
- THOMAS CARLYLE: "_French Revolution_."
- CHAPTER TWO
- THE OPEN DOOR
- I am afraid that the mild protest only inflamed her.
- CHAPTER THREE
- SONIA O'RANE
- I caught a light ripple of laughter.
- I put on my coat and started towards the door.
- I told him of the meeting in Beresford's flat.
- I made no comment. I do not see what comment was possible.
- I was assailed by a dreadful certainty that we had arrived too late.
- CHAPTER FOUR
- THE DOOR CLOSED
- I nodded.
- I put my finger to my lips, as Beresford stirred again.
- I refreshed my memory with a glance at my pocket-book.
- I put my arm through his and walked towards the river.
- I made a step towards the door, but Mrs. O'Rane was in my way.
- CHAPTER FIVE
- THE LIMITS OF LOYALTY
- I am afraid that the threatening high voice left me undaunted.
- I wondered whether she was trying to force his hand--and her husband's.
- I laid my hand on Guy's knee.
- I scribbled on an envelope and handed it to George:
- Her full question was inaudible, but I caught the words "_chère amie_."
- I did not find it easy to face Dainton's troubled, boyish eyes.
- I looked in vain for any sign of pleasure, relief or concern.
- CHAPTER SIX
- THE UNWRITTEN LAW
- Neither spoke for some time. Then Lady Dainton said--
- I could see his teeth grating.
- I slipped the end of my umbrella into the doorway.
- CHAPTER SEVEN
- THE DOOR RE-OPENED
- I felt that it was time to interfere.
- I got up and lifted the tray from her bed.
- I gave her some water to drink and asked leave to light a cigarette.
- I raised my eyebrows, but said nothing.
- CHAPTER EIGHT
- SANCTUARY
- I poured him out a cup of coffee and buttered him two slices of toast.
- I met O'Rane in the passage and carried him off to the library.
- THE END
