Nettie Frond sat in her comfortable rooms in College Road after breakfast wondering what she was going to do with her unexpected holiday. She had come down to her morning meal quite prepared as usual to catch the motor 'bus presently and make her daily way as far as Shorehaven and spend the rest of the morning in the Green Bungalow, taking down Shute's book from his own lips. And here was a postcard from her employer to the effect that he and Macglendy had been quite unexpectedly called away on business and telling her that she was free until she heard from him again.
This was all to the good, of course, because the weather was still beautifully fine, and with any luck she would be able to give her whole time to Harley and the proper consideration of his affairs. So far nothing had happened, and the lovers were no nearer the solution of the mysterious happenings that threatened to ruin their future happiness.
