Chapter IS
AT LEDLINGTON
"T THINK you might talk (bout
something," said Patsy In an ag
grieved voice.
Caroline was quit ready to talk
about anything except Jim.
. "What shall ire talk about r
"You might have brought an eve
ning paper." Pansy was still ag
grieved. "I wasn't near one. What did you
want It for?"
"I wanted to know whether there
was anything more about the emer
' aids and Mr. Van Berg."
"Why should there bet"
Caroline wasn't really listening.
She was thinking that she could get
to Ledllngton by eleven. She was
thinking that fourteen hours was a
, very long time to wait
"Well." Patsy went on, "he'll
Hher be better or else worse. Won't
nlum. . . ." Sb withdrew herself
from this fascinating ezerelsa with
a start.
"Ch yes If you'd b so awfully
kind. No, I dont want on for my
self." "We're got tome very nice ones,
mlw."
Caroline looked politely at black
purdonlum with a wreath of pink
roses. She looked, and looked away,
controlling an Inward shudder.
"I think Mrs. Rlddell bought on
here. And this Is the bill she
dropped It, and I'd like to glv It
back to her, but I don't know the ad
dress, so I thougbt perhaps you
would be very kind and let m have
It"
The young man asked nothing bet
ter than to be very kind to Caroline.
He made a number of most helpful
suggestions, such as, why bother
about the bill, as It was a cash pay
ment and no chauce of Its being sent
In again; and "Let us have It miss,
and we'll see It's posted to Mrs. Rld
dell, and no need for you to trouble."
Caroline banded all these sugges
tions back wltb gentle tact She
thought the red-balred young man
was rather a lamb, Sho succeeded
In making It Quite clear that she
wanted Mrs. Rlddell't address.
HEN It cam to the point the
young man bad to go and ask
Caroline wanted Mrs. Rlddell's address.
. It be dreadful It he dies? Jim bar
ing known him seems to bring It
home so. You know, of course It
must be wonderful to have the finest
emeralds In the worloV-and I sim
ply adore emeralds don't youT
but Just think of the anxiety. Even
If they get them back. I shouldn't
think that Mrs, Van Berg would ever
waqt to wear them again anyhow
not If be dies. I should think she'd
always feel as If there was blood on
.them."
Caroline winced, not visibly, but
' deep Inside herself. She couldn't
talk about a woman who was wait
ing to know whether ber husband
wss going to die. Jim bed written
about the Van Bergs from New York
they had been twfully good to him
Mrs. Van Berg was pretty and
kind. The emeralds were like a
fairy tale.
Now It was spoilt. Bhe couldn't
sear to think about kind, pretty
Bust Van Berg with everything
fallen to bits around her. A shot In
the night hsd broken the fstry tale.
Eh wished that Patsy Ann would
stop picking over the pieces.
CAROLINE left ber csr In the Mar
ket Square at Ledllngton next
day. Then she walked round the cor
ner Into Market Street and pene
trated Into Mr. Smithies' Ironmon
gery. The day was damp and rather
mnggy, and the shop was full of
mingled smells of paraffin, turpen
tine, varnish, tin-ware, and creosote.
Caroline asked for coalscuttles,
and having been led Into the corner
which they shared wltb patent
wringers, lawn-mowers snd wheel
barrows, she produced Mrs. Rld
dell's bill and smiled trustingly upon
a trockled young man whose red
hair rose a sheer three Inches from
a rather pallid brow.
"I do wonder If you can help me,"
aid Caroline, her voice very soft
and deep. "It would be so very kind
i you would."
The yoling man blushed. He wss a
susceptible young man.
"Was It anything in the way of a
Burdonlum?"
Spoken, th word was completely
awe-lnsplrlng. Caroline found her
self echoing It In a rapt mental reci
tative: "Cadmium chromium
uphonlum harmonium purdo-
Mlss Smithies, a pale angular youug
woman In plncenes, and atter some
wrinkling of the brow Miss Smith
ies recollected that Mrs. Rlddell was
staying with young Mrs. Williams
out at Ledllngton End.
Yes, that was It because the pur
donlum had been got for a wedding
present and Mrs. Williams came and
helped choose It "and let m see
what's the name of the house? Not
The Nest nor Cosy Corner, but
something after tbat style."
Miss Smithies was afraid she'd
have to look It up, and having looked
It up, gave the address as In cars of
Mrs. T. Williams, Happlcot Sand
rlngham Drive "and you go right
out to Ledllngtof End and straight
past the War Memorial, and Sand
rlngham Drive's the first turning on
tbe loft atter you pass the Kosy Kor
ner tea house and you needn't men
tion It I'm sure; It's no trouble."
Caroline drove past the Kosy Kor
ner tea-house, which displayed rus
tlo soots and orange and chocolate
striped umbrellas. Then she turned
Into Sandrlngham Drive, It was a
bright, clean little road full of
bright, clean litis houses, all new
and shiny like the toys oft a Christ
mas Tree.
Happlcot was the seventeenth
house on the left, and It was not as
up to date as tbe other sixteen. They
bad for tbe most part casement cur
tains In shades of orsnge, scarlet,
rose-pink, or delpblnlum-blue; but
the parlor windows of Happlcot
were hung wltb blue plush and Not
tingham lac. Th garden was raw
earth, with a scarlet geranium sur
rounded by a circle of lobelia set out
In the middle o' It
Caroline lifted th latch of th
rustic gate, walked up a bright yel
low gravel patb, and knocked upon
th front door. It was Nesta Rld
dell who opened It She looked at
Carolina with a mixture of surprise
and suspicion.' "Flag-day, or some
thing of tbat sort," sha said to her
self, and prcpsred to shut the door.
"Mrs. Rlddell?" said Caroline.
Nesta nodded. If sh wasn't col
lecting for something, whst on earth
could she.want? Suspicion deep
ened.
