There is no roof nor any walls in London which will enclose that man and keep him from me!" "Mr.Delora has no desire to hide himself from any one," Louis answered calmly.
"That is a statement which I may be permitted to doubt!" the visitor answered.

"Is that the door of his sleeping chamber?
If so, I am going in!" He pointed to the door, through the transept of which I was looking into the sitting-room.

Louis moved on one side.
"That is Mr.Delora's room," he said softly.

"Perhaps you had better let me be sure that he is awake." "You need not trouble," the other answered.
