That was quite enough lycanthropy for the present, so far as I was

concerned. I drew a book of Mark Twain from the shelf--I seem to

came, and I was about to ask the judge's negro servant for some lunch,

when he appeared in the door of the study.

"Someone with a message, sah," he announced, and drew aside to admit

Susan Gird.

I fairly sprang to my feet, dropping my book upon the desk. She

advanced slowly into the room, her pale face grave but friendly. I saw

that her eyes were darkly circled, and that her cheeks showed gaunt, as

if with strain and weariness. She put out a hand, and I took it.

"A message?" I repeated William's words.

"Why, yes." She achieved a smile, and I was glad to see it, for both

our sakes. "Judge Pursuivant got me to one side and said for me to come

here. You and I are to talk the thing over."

"You mean, last night?" She nodded, and I asked further, "How did you

get here?"

"Your car. I don't drive very well, but I managed."
