Melusine grasped the hilt of the sword she had been carefully
holding, and came out into the light. "I guess who you mean," rejoined Shotbolt. ”
“You came to tell me this?”
“I came for you,” he declared fiercely. ‘Well,’ began Captain Roding, looking at Melusine, ‘you know those nuns of
yours took up Valade—I mean, Gosse—and put him to bed to mend his wound,
and I posted a guard outside his room so he couldn’t escape, for Gerald told you
all that. We shall both, I hope, live to enjoy our shares—long after Thames
Darrell is forgotten—ha! ha! A third of your estate I accept. How did you meet him?’
‘He was wounded and came to the convent for sanctuary,’ Melusine told him,
stung by his criticism into revealing more than she had intended. Or had
you not noticed?’ He sneered. She would always be waiting upon this boy, he mused. "
"Murdered!" ejaculated Winifred. I felt I MUST do something anyhow, and up I came just as
soon as I could to see you. ’
Gerald opened his eyes at her. They talked lightly
but confidentially until Sir John approached them with a slight frown upon his
face. Do you know much of his background?’
‘Only that he is, or was, related to the Vicomte de Valade. I presume
that I may not kiss you in the street?”
“Certainly not, sir,” she replied, laughing.
