Chapter 14

_From Mrs. Lecount to Mr. de Bleriot._

"November 1st.

"DEAR SIR--One line to say that your letter has just reached me at my
lodging in London. I think I know who sent the strange man to inquire at
Allonby. It matters little. Before he finds out his mistake, I shall be
at Dumfries. My luggage is packed, and I start for the North by the next
train.

"Your deeply obliged

"VIRGINIE LECOUNT."
