Nap, I wish you would find my husband.

I've said good-night to everybody, and I want to go home to bed." "Lady Carfax hasn't gone yet," observed Nap.

"I saw her standing in the doorway of the ladies' cloak-room just now." "Lady Carfax! Are you sure?
I thought they went long ago.

Is their carriage waiting then ?" "Yes.

It is still there." Mrs.Damer hastened into the ladies' cloak-room, still half-incredulous.
At her entrance Anne Carfax, clad in a white wrap that made her face look ghastly, turned from the dying fire.
"My dear Lady Carfax!" exclaimed Mrs.Damer.
