"You are very good to me and mine.

I am sorry that you have been kept waiting.

They tell me that you looked for me in the chapel, but I was not there, who had already left it for my office." "So I found.

It is a quaint place, that old chapel of yours, and while I waited I went to the altar and told my beads there, which I had no time to do before I left my lodgings." Castell started almost imperceptibly, and glanced at d'Aguilar with his quick eyes, then turned the subject and asked if he would not breakfast with them.

He declined, however, saying that he must be about their business and his own, then promptly proposed that he should come to supper on the following night that was--Sunday--and make report how things had gone, a suggestion that Castell could not but accept.
So he bowed and smiled himself out of the house, and walked thoughtfully into Holborn, for it had pleased him to pay this visit on foot, and unattended.
