It was an hour or two later when Blake walked into Watersmouth with Margaret as his companion. She had taken her photographs and had her tea, during which the subject of her recent conversation with Mortmain had cropped up. And Blake had been entirely on Margaret's side throughout. He had spoken quite plainly on the subject, so that there had been almost a quarrel between the two men, which had been more or less patched up, owing to Margaret's presence. It was she who threw oil on the troubled waters and brought the others back to the normal again.

He had no particular business in Watersmouth, but there was no reason why Margaret should be told that. Therefore, he strode along by her side and dropped her just as they came to the house where Dr. Deacon lived. Blake held out his hand.
