THE end of his third cigarette, Richard Canning-ton sighed a little and once more glanced at the old grandfather clock in a corner of the comfortable sitting-room. He had been waiting for exactly thirty-five minutes. Outside was the rawness of a March evening with gusts of sleet and a cold mist to make anyone glad of shelter. Yet, sitting here in a big flat tucked away in the Albany, young Cannington was becoming fretful at the continued absence of its owner. Where the devil was Burton? Answer to his unspoken question came suddenly, as he heard old Wilks, Burton's "man" open the front door, then the sound of his voice mingling with that of the newcomer. Cannington grinned his relief and got up from his armchair. "I began to think that you were never coming; but it's my fault for dropping in unexpectedly like this. Hope you don't mind?" "Of course not." Burton went over to the fireplace and held out his hands to the blaze. "Always pleased to see you, Dick—you know that. But,"—he gave a wry little smile—"it's damned queer that you should be here tonight. Has Wilks given you a drink?" |
