Chapter 4
GIRL IN TERROR
HER fingers were scratching and
fumbling at the door beside me.
Then her face turned from looking
over her shoulder and showed me
whiteness and wide dark eyes and
blowing hair, and she beat on the
loor with her lists and sobbed again:
"Oh, do let me In."
I got the door open, and she
whirled In, and I closed It against
the wind. She followed the light Into
my room like a child running from
' the dark, and when 1 followed her
she was kneeling before the Ore,
stretching out her beautiful hands
toward It, and her silver-heeled slip
pers made spots of light against the
carpet Her eyes flared with terror
and mot mine, and she said with a
gasp: "Shut the door,"
Sue whirled In,
1 shut the door Into the corridor,
There's, one nice thing about not
having much inonoy: you aren't sub
, plclous.
There was still a little brandy
untouched and I gave It to her and
pulled up a chair for her to lean
against and waited. Presently her
breath stopped coming In gasps and
her Hps steadied themselves. She
turned and looked at me and smiled
a little tremulously,
"I'm so sorry," she said. "Ton see,
I've just been abducted."
Her dark ayes held mine for a
moment, and then she turned back
to the Are as It she had said all there
was to say. I pulled myself together.
"Shall 1 call the police?"
"Tho police. Oh, no. No. I don't
think they could do anything about
It. Anyway, I've escaped. Quit"
her voice wavered upward and she
caught herself and said without
trembling "quite uninjured."
I don't remembor that I had need
to convince myself that she was tell
ing me the truth: there simply
wasn't any doubt In my mind. I
said: "Isn't there something 1 can
do? Shall I call a maid? The hotel
manager? Anyone? Can't 1 do some
thing?" I moved toward the bell and
she must have thought I was mov
ing toward tho door, for she turned
around In fear again and said with
a quick catching ot her breath:
"pLEASB don't leave. Just for a
r moment or two. I shall be all
right again In Just a moment I
you see, I'm out ot breath. I've been
running. He was following me."
Something carried me to the door
and Into the corridor; It was not
my reason or volition, tor I had no
wish to become entangled In abduc
tions. She reached the door to the
stairway aa soon as 1 did and had
both her hands on mine on the latch.
She was frightened, for her face was
white, and she looked through the
glass In a terrlfled way, but she
begged me to go back.
"Do believe me. Do believe me.
He's gone. He must have gone as
oon as you opened the door and let
me in. He wouldn't stay about wait-

lng to be caught. Besldej, I can't
thrust tills upon you.
I said, "Nonsense," and lifted her
binds and moved her not too gently
to one side; she was fairly strong
under her slimness, and determined.
But as 1 wrenched the door open
and the wind howled upon us she
seized my arm again and cried, her
lips near my ear so 1 could hear her
through the tumult of wind and
creaking windows and clattering
shutters:
"Won't you understand? It will
be very difficult for me If you do
this."
I looked down the steps. I could
see only as far as the first curve,
and that but dimly. Of courso no one
was there, and the courtyard was
only alive with shadows. It she felt
like that about It after all, the de
cision mnst remain with her. She
waa standing so close to me that 1
could feel her body tremble with
cold.
"fO back Into my room and try
to get warm." As she hesitated,
1 added: "Oh,-I'll do as you say, of
course." It satisfied her," after one
searching look through the half
darkness to find my eyes, and she
went back to the light and the Are
while I closed the door to the stair
way. "Please don't look like that," she
said. "As If 1 bad cheated justice. I
don't know how to explain all this
to you. It must sound -very lurid,
thus far. But you must see that I
oan't Involve you. And after all." she
added unexpectedly, "one's abduc
tion Is one's own affair."
"It's very fortunate that It turned
out In a way that permits you to
sny that"
She looked at me quickly.
"Don't think I'm fllp.pant I'm
1'm badly scared. Perhaps In a mo
ment I can thank you properly. Just
now 1 should like to get good and
warm at your nice Are. Ibo'i It
curious that Just being cold can do
things to your courage?"
She stopped abruptly, as If that
were at the moment too dangerous a
topic, and eald quickly: "1 am Sue
Tally. I'm staying here, or course.
I'm Intruding unforgivably."
I wanted to tell her she was not
Intruding. I wanted to tell her I
was feasting my starved eyes Just
watching her. I wanted to tell her
she was a little fool not to let me
go after the man myself or call the
police.
I said my name wa. Jim Bundean
and would she have a cigarette.
She refused and watched me light,
one. Her small nose sniffed a little.
and she said in a pleased way:
"Why, that's an American ciga
rette!" 1 nodded.
"You wouldn't believe how din
cult It's been for me to get them.
Ot course, here tn France It's easy
enough, It rather expensive, but In
Russia It was practically Impossible.
At least, where 1 was."
"You've Just come from there?"
I had thought ber face looked softer,
less rigid and white with terror, aa
If talking of everyday matters were
restoring ber poise.
At that moment however, there
was a sudden loud clap, and ber eyes
leaped to mine, and she went white
again. She looked helplessly about
