Blind Love

After a short absence, the servant came back with a message.

"Miss Henley begs you will excuse her. She will write to you."

Would this promised letter be like the other letters which he had

received from her in Scotland? Mountjoy's gentler nature reminded him

that he owed it to his remembrance of happier days, and truer

friendship, to wait and see.

He was just getting into the cab, on his return to London, when a

closed carriage, with one person in it, passed him on its way to

Redburn Road. In that person he recognised Mr. Henley. As the

cab-driver mounted to his seat, Hugh saw the carriage stop at Number

Five.
