Her back had stiffened, and
her hazel eyes looked steadfastly ahead. Fortescue had not much ability to keep her sister, and a
little while after her mother’s death Ann Veronica met Gwen suddenly on the
staircase coming from her father’s study, shockingly dingy in dusty mourning
and tearful and resentful, and after that Gwen receded from the Morningside
Park world, and not even the begging letters and distressful communications that
her father and aunt received, but only a vague intimation of dreadfulness, a
leakage of incidental comment, flashes of paternal anger at “that blackguard,”
came to Ann Veronica’s ears. A modest
drinking bout which had its windup in a fan-tan house over in Kowloon, where
O'Higgins tussled with varying fortune until five in the morning. We’ve brought a carriage to take you back to
London, and I’ve settled with Trodger, who has just given me a coherent account

round his body, and in this way the poor boy was drawn up without difficulty.
