'I appeal to him to say if there are any unhealthy influences in Mr.Westwick's room.' Introduced to Number Fourteen, the doctor looked round him with a certain appearance of interest which was noticed by everyone present.
'The last time I was in this room,' he said, 'was on a melancholy occasion.

It was before the palace was changed into an hotel.

I was in professional attendance on an English nobleman who died here.' One of the persons present inquired the name of the nobleman.

Doctor Bruno answered (without the slightest suspicion that he was speaking before a brother of the dead man), 'Lord Montbarry.' Henry quietly left the room, without saying a word to anybody.
He was not, in any sense of the term, a superstitious man.

But he felt, nevertheless, an insurmountable reluctance to remaining in the hotel.
