Ella Bennett was cooking the dinner when her father Ed came in, depositing his heavy camera on the floor of the sitting-room, but carrying, as was usual, his grip to the bedroom. She heard the closing of the cupboard door and the turning of the lock, but had long ceased to wonder why he invariably kept his bag locked in that cupboard. He was looking very tired and old; there were deeper lines under his eves, and the pallor of his cheeks was even more pronounced.
"Did you have a good time, father?" she asked. It was the invariable question, and invariably John Bennett made no other reply than a nod.
