Description
Excerpt from Temple Bar, Vol. 37
I hate all mysteries, she said to J ulian. And as for secrets, I consider them to be one of the forms of ill-breeding. People in our rank of life ought to be above whispering in corners. If you must have your mystery, I can offer you a corner in the library. Come with me.
J ulian followed his aunt very reluctantly. Whatever the mystery might be, he was plainly embarrassed by being called upon to reveal it at a moment's notice. Indy J anet settled herself in her chair, pre pared to question and cross-question her nephew - when an obstacle appeared at the other end of the library, in the shape of a man-servant with a message. One of Lady J anet's neighbours had called by ap pointment to take her to the meeting of a certain committee which assembled that day. The servant announced that the neighbour ah elderly lady - was then waiting in her carriage at the door.
